When Will CAP-XX Limited (LON:CPX) Breakeven?

CAP-XX Limited (LON:CPX) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. CAP-XX Limited, together with its subsidiaries, develops, manufactures, and sells supercapacitors primarily in the Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. The UK£18m market-cap company announced a latest loss of AU$4.9m on 30 June 2022 for its most recent financial year result. As path to profitability is the topic on CAP-XX'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.

See our latest analysis for CAP-XX

CAP-XX is bordering on breakeven, according to the 2 British Electronic analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2023, before generating positive profits of AU$3.3m in 2024. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven just over a year from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 99% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Underlying developments driving CAP-XX's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, though, take into account that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

Before we wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. CAP-XX currently has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning growth company, 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.
