According to the 3 industry analysts covering MOGU, the consensus is breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2020, before generating positive profits of CN¥337m in 2021. So, MOGU is predicted to breakeven approximately 2 years from today. What rate will MOGU have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, I calculated an average annual growth rate of 93%, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
Given this is a high-level overview, I won’t go into details of MOGU’s upcoming projects, though, take into account 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. MOGU currently has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making loss-making, growth company, which usually has a high level of debt relative to its equity. MOGU currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
