With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at DXN Limited's (ASX:DXN) future prospects. DXN Limited engages in the design, manufacture, and operation of data centers in Australia. The AU$12m market-cap company announced a latest loss of AU$2.3m on 30 June 2024 for its most recent financial year result. The most pressing concern for investors is DXN's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

Check out our latest analysis for DXN

DXN is bordering on breakeven, according to some Australian IT analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of AU$400k in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from today. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2027? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 68% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of DXN's upcoming projects, though, keep in mind that by and large a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. DXN currently has negative equity on its balance sheet. This can sometimes arise from accounting methods used to deal with accumulated losses from prior years, which are viewed as liabilities carried forward until it cancels out in the future. Oftentimes, losses exist only on paper but other times, it can be a red flag.
