Check out our latest analysis for Aurora Mobile
Aurora Mobile is bordering on breakeven, according to some American Software analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2022, before generating positive profits of CN¥9.9m in 2023. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 2 years from today. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2023? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 67% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. 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 Aurora Mobile given that this is a high-level summary, though, take into account that typically a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
One thing we would like to bring into light with Aurora Mobile is its relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in Aurora Mobile's case is 70%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
