Echo IQ is bordering on breakeven, according to the 2 Australian Software analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of AU$44m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 51% is expected, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
