Simply Wall St · 2d ago

SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNWV) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. SANUWAVE Health, Inc. operates as a medical device company in the United States and internationally. With the latest financial year loss of US$31m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$7.0m, the US$253m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which SANUWAVE Health will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

SANUWAVE Health is bordering on breakeven, according to the 2 American Medical Equipment analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2024, before generating positive profits of US$7.2m in 2025. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 12 months 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 86% 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.
