OrganoClick is bordering on breakeven, according to some Swedish Chemicals analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2024, before generating positive profits of kr4.6m in 2025. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2025? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 93% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of OrganoClick's upcoming projects, but, keep 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. OrganoClick currently has a relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in OrganoClick's case is 66%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
