Loss-Making Azerion Group N.V. (AMS:AZRN) Expected To Breakeven In The Medium-Term
With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at Azerion Group N.V.'s (AMS:AZRN) future prospects. Azerion Group N.V. operates a digital entertainment and media platform worldwide. The €263m market-cap company’s loss lessened since it announced a €134m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of €12m, as it approaches breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is Azerion Group's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? 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 Azerion Group
According to the 2 industry analysts covering Azerion Group, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2023, before generating positive profits of €5.2m in 2024. The company is therefore projected to breakeven just over a year from today. 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 112% is expected, 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 Azerion Group's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, though, bear in mind that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. Azerion Group currently has a debt-to-equity ratio of over 2x. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, and the company has considerably exceeded this. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
