According to the 11 industry analysts covering Formula One Group, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2021, before generating positive profits of US$58m in 2022. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly a year from now or less! We calculated the rate at which the company must grow to meet the consensus forecasts predicting breakeven within 12 months. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 59% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
We're not going to go through company-specific developments for Formula One Group given that this is a high-level summary, but, take into account that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
One thing we would like to bring into light with Formula One Group is its relatively high level of debt. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in Formula One Group's case is 54%. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
