CARsgen Therapeutics Holdings is bordering on breakeven, according to the 2 Hong Kong Biotechs analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of CN¥681m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from today. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 96% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. 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 CARsgen Therapeutics Holdings' upcoming projects, though, bear in mind that typically biotechs, depending on the stage of product development, have irregular periods of cash flow. This means, large upcoming growth rates are not abnormal as the company is beginning to reap the benefits of earlier investments.
