With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at AvePoint, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AVPT) future prospects. AvePoint, Inc. provides cloud-native data management software platform in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. The US$3.6b market-cap company’s loss lessened since it announced a US$29m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$24m, as it approaches breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on AvePoint's investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.
According to the 8 industry analysts covering AvePoint, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2024, before turning a profit of US$13m in 2025. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately a year from now or less! How fast will the company have to grow to reach the consensus forecasts that anticipate breakeven by 2025? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 94% year-on-year, on average, which is rather optimistic! 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 AvePoint given that this is a high-level summary, but, bear in mind that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
