Analysts Expect Breakeven For Bio-Gene Technology Limited (ASX:BGT) Before Long

We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Bio-Gene Technology Limited's (ASX:BGT) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Bio-Gene Technology Limited, a biotechnology company, engages in developing insecticides/pesticides for animal health, crop protection, public health, and consumer applications in Australia. The AU$21m market-cap company posted a loss in its most recent financial year of AU$1.9m and a latest trailing-twelve-month loss of AU$2.2m leading to an even wider gap between loss and breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is Bio-Gene Technology's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

Check out our latest analysis for Bio-Gene Technology

Bio-Gene Technology is bordering on breakeven, according to some Australian Chemicals analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2023, before turning a profit of AU$1.5m in 2024. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 3 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2024? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 78% year-on-year, on average, which signals high confidence from analysts. 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 Bio-Gene Technology given that this is a high-level summary, however, bear in mind that typically a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

Before we wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. The company has managed its capital prudently, with debt making up -0.1% of equity. This means that it has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital, and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
