When Will 7digital Group plc (LON:7DIG) Breakeven?

7digital Group plc (LON:7DIG) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. 7digital Group plc operates as a digital music technology company in the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, rest of Europe, and internationally. On 31 December 2020, the UK£24m market-cap company posted a loss of UK£2.3m for its most recent financial year. The most pressing concern for investors is 7digital Group's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

Check out our latest analysis for 7digital Group

According to some industry analysts covering 7digital Group, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2021, before generating positive profits of UK£2.6m in 2022. So, the company is predicted to breakeven just over a year from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2022? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 98% year-on-year, on average, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. 7digital Group currently has negative equity on its balance sheet. Accounting methods used to deal with losses accumulated over time can cause this to occur. This is because liabilities are carried forward into the future until it cancels. These losses tend to occur only on paper, however, in other cases it can be forewarning.
