The most pressing concern for investors is WDLK’s path to profitability – when will it breakeven? Below I will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for WDLK.

According to the industry analysts covering WDLK, breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2019, before turning a profit of €100k in 2020. So, WDLK is predicted to breakeven approximately a couple of months from now! In order to meet this breakeven date, I calculated the rate at which WDLK must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 104% is expected, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, WDLK may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Given this is a high-level overview, I won’t go into details of WDLK’s upcoming projects, however, keep 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 I wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. WDLK has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 3.8% of equity. This means that WDLK has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital,and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
