AML3D Limited's (ASX:AL3) Path To Profitability

With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at AML3D Limited's (ASX:AL3) future prospects. AML3D Limited engages in the provision of 3D printing systems and contract manufacturing services to the aerospace, marine, defence, oil and gas, mining, and general manufacturing sectors in Australia, Singapore, and the United States. The AU$97m market-cap company announced a latest loss of AU$7.4m on 30 June 2025 for its most recent financial year result. As path to profitability is the topic on AML3D'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.

We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

Consensus from 2 of the Australian Machinery analysts is that AML3D is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2027, before generating positive profits of AU$4.1m in 2028. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 3 years from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 80% is expected, which is rather optimistic! 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 AML3D's upcoming projects, though, bear in mind that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

One thing we’d like to point out is that AML3D has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making growth company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. This means that the company has been operating purely on its equity investment and has no debt burden. This aspect reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
