The US$460m market-cap company announced a latest loss of US$43m on 31 December 2024 for its most recent financial year result. As path to profitability is the topic on Agora's investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Consensus from 2 of the American Software analysts is that Agora is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2024, before generating positive profits of US$5.0m in 2025. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 12 months from now or less. How fast will the company have to grow to reach the consensus forecasts that anticipate breakeven by 2025? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 136% year-on-year, on average, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
