TeraWulf is bordering on breakeven, according to the 5 American Software analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2023, before generating positive profits of US$23m in 2024. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately a year 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 133%, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of TeraWulf's upcoming projects, however, keep in mind that by and large a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. TeraWulf currently has a relatively high level of debt. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in TeraWulf's case is 56%. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
