Many investors are wondering the rate at which ALEF will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” Below I will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for ALEF.

According to the industry analysts covering ALEF, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2019, before generating positive profits of CA$2.0m in 2020. ALEF is therefore projected to breakeven around a couple of months from now! In order to meet this breakeven date, I calculated the rate at which ALEF must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 95% is expected, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, ALEF may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Given this is a high-level overview, I won’t go into details of ALEF’s upcoming projects, though, keep in mind that generally 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. ALEF has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 5.4% of equity. This means that ALEF has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital,and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
