Many investors are wondering the rate at which TEAM 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 TEAM.
Check out our latest analysis for Atlassian
Consensus from the 21 Software analysts is TEAM is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2021, before turning a profit of US$13m in 2022. So, TEAM is predicted to breakeven approximately 2 years from now. What rate will TEAM 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 52%, which signals high confidence from analysts. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, TEAM may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Given this is a high-level overview, I won’t go into details of TEAM’s upcoming projects, but, take into account that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
One thing I would like to bring into light with TEAM is its debt-to-equity ratio of 107%. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in TEAM’s case, it has significantly overshot. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
