According to the 2 industry analysts covering NextEd Group, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of AU$370k in 2027. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 12 months 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 124% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
