Expectations from some of the Australian Metals and Mining analysts is that Galan Lithium is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of AU$8.8m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 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 84% is expected, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
