Neighbourly Pharmacy Inc. owns and operates a chain of retail pharmacies in Canada. On 26 March 2022, the CA$1.1b market-cap company posted a loss of CA$73m for its most recent financial year.

View our latest analysis for Neighbourly Pharmacy

According to the 9 industry analysts covering Neighbourly Pharmacy, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2022, before generating positive profits of CA$14m in 2023. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 12 months from now or less. At what rate will the company have to grow in order to realise the consensus estimates forecasting breakeven in under 12 months? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 99%, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Underlying developments driving Neighbourly Pharmacy's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, bear 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 we wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. The company has managed its capital prudently, with debt making up 25% of equity. This means that it has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital, and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
