Yahoo Finance Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CRBP): Are Analysts Optimistic?
Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc’s (NASDAQ:CRBP): Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc., a clinical stage pharmaceutical company, focuses on the development and commercialization of various therapeutic products to treat inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. The company’s loss has recently broadened since it announced a -US$32.42M loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of -US$36.65M, moving it further away from breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is CRBP’s path to profitability – when will it breakeven? In this article, I will touch on the expectations for CRBP’s growth and when analysts expect the company to become profitable.

CRBP is bordering on breakeven, according to analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2021, before generating positive profits of US$82.17M in 2022. CRBP is therefore projected to breakeven around 4 years from today. How fast will CRBP have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2022? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 24.42% year-on-year, on average, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, CRBP may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Given this is a high-level overview, I won’t go into detail the detail of CRBP’s upcoming projects, though, bear in mind that generally a biotech has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the product type and stage of development the company is in. This means, large upcoming growth rates are not abnormal as the company is beginning to reap the benefits of earlier investments.
One thing I’d like to point out is that CRBP has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 0.32% of equity. This means that CRBP has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital, and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
