Allot is bordering on breakeven, according to some American Software analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of US$3.0m in 2027. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 2 years from today. 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 62% 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.

Underlying developments driving Allot's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, bear in mind that by and large a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. Allot currently has a relatively high level of debt. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in Allot's case is 83%. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
