According to the 2 industry analysts covering SKYX Platforms, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2022, before generating positive profits of US$16m in 2023. So, the company is predicted to breakeven just over a year from now. What rate will the company have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 115%, which is extremely buoyant. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
We're not going to go through company-specific developments for SKYX Platforms given that this is a high-level summary, but, keep in mind that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
One thing we would like to bring into light with SKYX Platforms is its relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in SKYX Platforms' case is 46%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
