Cyclopharm Limited's (ASX:CYC): Cyclopharm Limited engages in the research and development, manufacture, and sale of medical equipment and radiopharmaceuticals in the Asia Pacific, Europe, Canada, and internationally. The AU$115m market-cap company announced a latest loss of AU$2.9m on 31 December 2019 for its most recent financial year result. As path to profitability is the topic on CYC’s investors mind, I’ve decided to gauge market sentiment. I’ve put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for CYC, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

According to the industry analysts covering CYC, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2020, before generating positive profits of AU$1.9m in 2021. So, CYC is predicted to breakeven approximately a couple of months from now! In order to meet this breakeven date, I calculated the rate at which CYC must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 101% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, CYC may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Underlying developments driving CYC’s growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, keep in mind that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
Before I wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. CYC currently has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making loss-making, growth company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. CYC currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
