Analysts Are Optimistic We'll See A Profit From Raiz Invest Limited (ASX:RZI)

We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Raiz Invest Limited's (ASX:RZI) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Raiz Invest Limited provides financial services and products through its mobile micro-investing platform in Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The AU$151m market-cap company announced a latest loss of AU$3.5m on 30 June 2021 for its most recent financial year result. As path to profitability is the topic on Raiz Invest's investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

View our latest analysis for Raiz Invest

Consensus from 2 of the Australian Capital Markets analysts is that Raiz Invest is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2021, before generating positive profits of AU$800k in 2022. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 12 months from now or less. At what rate will the company have to grow in order to realise the consensus estimates forecasting breakeven in under 12 months? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 136%, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

One thing we’d like to point out is that The company has managed its capital prudently, with debt making up 0.5% of equity. This means that it has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital, and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
