Rallybio Corporation (NASDAQ:RLYB) Is Expected To Breakeven In The Near Future

Rallybio Corporation (NASDAQ:RLYB) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Rallybio Corporation, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, engages in development and commercialization of life-transforming therapies for patients suffering from severe and rare diseases. The US$26m market-cap company announced a latest loss of US$58m on 31 December 2024 for its most recent financial year result. As path to profitability is the topic on Rallybio's investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

Consensus from 2 of the American Biotechs analysts is that Rallybio is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2026, before generating positive profits of US$9.7m in 2027. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 2 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2027? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 60% 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.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of Rallybio's upcoming projects, but, keep in mind that generally biotechs, depending on the stage of product development, have irregular periods of cash flow. So, a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we’d like to point out is that Rallybio has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning biotech, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
