Q2 Holdings, Inc. provides digital solutions to financial institutions, financial technology companies, FinTechs, and alternative finance companies (Alt-FIs) in the United States. On 31 December 2024, the US$5.5b market-cap company posted a loss of US$39m for its most recent financial year.

According to the 14 industry analysts covering Q2 Holdings, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2024, before turning a profit of US$6.3m in 2025. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 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 138% 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.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of Q2 Holdings' upcoming projects, however, keep in mind 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 would like to bring into light with Q2 Holdings is its relatively high level of debt. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in Q2 Holdings' case is 95%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
