Catalysts

Provides a series of safe-smart platform technologies.

• SKYX Platforms anticipates significant revenue growth as it expects its products to be in tens of thousands of additional homes in 2025, driven by increased market penetration of its smart home products and collaborations with major retailers like Home Depot and Wayfair. This is likely to impact future revenue growth positively.
  
• The company is working towards mandatory safety standardization for its electrical ceiling outlet technology, which could provide a regulatory catalyst that enhances its competitive positioning and future revenue prospects.
  
• The implementation of the Razor & Blade model, where the sale of razors (ceiling outlet receptacles) leads to recurring revenue from blades (additional smart products and services), is expected to drive revenue and improve net margins over time.
  
• By leveraging strategic partnerships with companies such as JIT Electrical Supply and collaborations with builders like Cavco Homes, SKYX aims to expand its market footprint, supporting both revenue growth and increased business opportunities in the construction and renovation sectors.
  
• The appointment of industry experts, such as Huey Long and Greg St. John, with extensive experience in e-commerce and retail, is poised to enhance revenue channels and operational efficiencies, potentially improving earnings.

SKYX Platforms Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming SKYX Platforms's revenue will grow by 21.5% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts are not forecasting that SKYX Platforms will become profitable in next 3 years. To represent the Analyst Price Target as a Future PE Valuation we will estimate SKYX Platforms's profit margin will increase from -41.7% to the average US Electrical industry of 10.5% in 3 years.
• If SKYX Platforms's profit margin were to converge on the industry average, you could expect earnings to reach $16.2 million (and earnings per share of $0.14) by about May 2028, up from $-36.0 million today.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 29.3x on those 2028 earnings, up from -3.4x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Electrical industry at 22.8x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 4.44% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 8.39%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

SKYX Platforms Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• The dependence on partnerships with companies like Home Depot and Wayfair suggests that any setbacks in these relationships could hinder revenue growth and market expansion.
  
• Although there is 48% growth in revenue, the company still reported a $13.1 million loss in 2024, highlighting ongoing challenges in achieving profitability which could impact net margins.
  
• The gross margin dip in Q4 indicates potential issues in cost management or pricing strategy, which could affect future earnings.
  
• The need to finalize the mandatory safety standardization process presents a risk, as delays or failure could impact the market penetration and thereby future revenue streams.
  
• The reliance on a supply chain involving factories in Vietnam, Taiwan, and Cambodia to avoid tariffs could introduce geopolitical and operational risks that might disrupt inventory management and impact net margins.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $3.125 for SKYX Platforms based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $5.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $2.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $154.6 million, earnings will come to $16.2 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 29.3x, assuming you use a discount rate of 8.4%.
• Given the current share price of $1.17, the analyst price target of $3.12 is 62.6% higher.
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
