With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at Dubber Corporation Limited's (ASX:DUB) future prospects. Dubber Corporation Limited operates a unified call recording platform in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific. The AU$414m market-cap company announced a latest loss of AU$18m on 30 June 2020 for its most recent financial year result. As path to profitability is the topic on Dubber's 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.
Check out our latest analysis for Dubber
Dubber is bordering on breakeven, according to some Australian Software analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2022, before generating positive profits of AU$3.1m in 2023. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 3 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 69%, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
Underlying developments driving Dubber's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, bear in mind that by and large 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 Dubber has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning loss-making, growth company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
