Expectation from Software analysts is CLSK is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2022, before turning a profit of US$6.3m in 2023. So, CLSK is predicted to breakeven approximately 3 years from today. What rate will CLSK have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, I calculated an average annual growth rate of 65%, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, CLSK may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Underlying developments driving CLSK’s growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, keep in mind that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
One thing I’d like to point out is that CLSK has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 26% of equity. This means that CLSK has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital,and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
