With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at Alkami Technology, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:ALKT) future prospects. Alkami Technology, Inc. offers cloud-based digital banking solutions in the United States. The US$3.4b market-cap company’s loss lessened since it announced a US$63m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$52m, as it approaches breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is Alkami Technology's 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.

According to the 10 industry analysts covering Alkami Technology, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2025, before turning a profit of US$45m in 2026. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 2 years from today. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2026? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 98% year-on-year, on average, which signals high confidence from analysts. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
We're not going to go through company-specific developments for Alkami Technology given that this is a high-level summary, though, take into account that by and large a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
One thing we’d like to point out is that Alkami Technology has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning growth company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. This means that the company has been operating purely on its equity investment and has no debt burden. This aspect reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
