G Mining Ventures Corp. (TSE:GMIN) About To Shift From Loss To Profit
G Mining Ventures Corp. (TSE:GMIN) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. G Mining Ventures Corp., a mining company, engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of precious metal projects. The company’s loss has recently broadened since it announced a US$7.2m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$12m, moving it further away from breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on G Mining Ventures' 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.
Check out our latest analysis for G Mining Ventures
Consensus from 4 of the Canadian Metals and Mining analysts is that G Mining Ventures is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2023, before turning a profit of US$17m in 2024. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 12 months from now or less. We calculated the rate at which the company must grow to meet the consensus forecasts predicting breakeven within 12 months. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 92% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
Underlying developments driving G Mining Ventures' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, though, bear in mind that typically 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 that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.
Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. G Mining Ventures currently has a relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in G Mining Ventures' case is 57%. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
