Genius Sports Limited engages in the development and sale of technology-led products and services to the sports, sports betting, and sports media industries. The US$3.0b market-cap company posted a loss in its most recent financial year of US$63m and a latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$78m leading to an even wider gap between loss and breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on Genius Sports' investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment.

Consensus from 18 of the American Hospitality analysts is that Genius Sports is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2025, before generating positive profits of US$33m in 2026. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven just over a year from today. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2026? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 68% year-on-year, on average, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
