Check out our latest analysis for Clarity Pharmaceuticals
Consensus from 2 of the Australian Pharmaceuticals analysts is that Clarity Pharmaceuticals is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of AU$23m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 3 years from now. What rate will the company have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 73%, which is rather optimistic! 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 Clarity Pharmaceuticals' upcoming projects, but, keep in mind that by and large a pharma company has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the drug and stage of product development the business is in. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.
One thing we’d like to point out is that Clarity Pharmaceuticals has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning pharma, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. This means that the company has been operating purely on its equity investment and has no debt burden. This aspect reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
