View our latest analysis for Axonics Modulation Technologies
Consensus from the 7 Medical Equipment analysts is AXNX is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2021, before generating positive profits of US$43m in 2022. Therefore, AXNX is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from today. How fast will AXNX 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 66% year-on-year, on average, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, AXNX may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Underlying developments driving AXNX’s growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, take into account that by and large a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
One thing I’d like to point out is that AXNX has managed its capital prudently, with debt making up 22% of equity. This means that AXNX has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital,and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
