Yahoo Movies Analysts Are Optimistic We'll See A Profit From Kraken Robotics Inc. (CVE:PNG)
Kraken Robotics Inc. (CVE:PNG) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Kraken Robotics Inc., a marine technology company, engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of software-centric sensors, batteries, and underwater robotic systems for unmanned underwater vehicles used in military and commercial applications. With the latest financial year loss of CA$3.5m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of CA$2.4m, the CA$129m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is Kraken Robotics' path to profitability – when will it breakeven? We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

Kraken Robotics is bordering on breakeven, according to the 2 Canadian Electronic analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2022, before generating positive profits of CA$6.3m in 2023. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately a year from now or less! We calculated the rate at which the company must grow to meet the consensus forecasts predicting breakeven within 12 months. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 191% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
Underlying developments driving Kraken Robotics' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, though, keep in mind that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
One thing we would like to bring into light with Kraken Robotics is its relatively high level of debt. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in Kraken Robotics' case is 48%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
