Consensus from 3 of the Australian Oil and Gas analysts is that Bannerman Energy is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2027, before turning a profit of AU$66m in 2028. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 3 years from today. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2028? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 72% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

We're not going to go through company-specific developments for Bannerman Energy given that this is a high-level summary, though, take into account that by and large an energy business has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the natural resource and stage at which the company is operating. This means, large upcoming growth rates are not abnormal as the company is beginning to reap the benefits of earlier investments.
