Consensus from 2 of the Polish Biotechs analysts is that Captor Therapeutics Spolka Akcyjna is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2025, before generating positive profits of zł18m in 2026. 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 57% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
