Market Sentiment Around Loss-Making BluGlass Limited (ASX:BLG)

With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at BluGlass Limited's (ASX:BLG) future prospects. BluGlass Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the research and development of Gallium nitrides in Australia. On 30 June 2020, the AU$59m market-cap company posted a loss of AU$6.0m for its most recent financial year. As path to profitability is the topic on BluGlass' investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

Check out our latest analysis for BluGlass

According to some industry analysts covering BluGlass, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2021, before generating positive profits of AU$429k in 2022. The company is therefore projected to breakeven just over a year from today. What rate will the company have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 90%, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Underlying developments driving BluGlass' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, 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 we’d like to point out is that BluGlass has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning growth company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
