Expectations from some of the American Medical Equipment analysts is that ThermoGenesis Holdings is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2023, before generating positive profits of US$5.9m 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 56% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
