When Will Andromeda Metals Limited (ASX:ADN) Breakeven?

We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Andromeda Metals Limited's (ASX:ADN) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Andromeda Metals Limited operates as a mineral exploration company in Australia. With the latest financial year loss of AU$7.3m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of AU$5.4m, the AU$42m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on Andromeda Metals' investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

According to some industry analysts covering Andromeda Metals, breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of AU$34m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. What rate will the company have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 104%, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of Andromeda Metals' upcoming projects, though, take into account that by and large a metal and mining business has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the natural resource mined 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.
