We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Savannah Goldfields Limited's (ASX:SVG) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Savannah Goldfields Limited engages in the exploration, evaluation, and development of gold and silver properties in Australia. On 30 June 2025, the AU$41m market-cap company posted a loss of AU$7.5m for its most recent financial year. As path to profitability is the topic on Savannah Goldfields' investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.
According to some industry analysts covering Savannah Goldfields, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2025, before generating positive profits of AU$3.0m in 2026. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 12 months from now or less. At what rate will the company have to grow in order to realise the consensus estimates forecasting breakeven in under 12 months? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 79%, 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 Savannah Goldfields' upcoming projects, but, keep in mind that typically metals and mining companies, depending on the stage of operation and metals mined, have irregular periods of cash flow. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.

Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. Savannah Goldfields currently has a debt-to-equity ratio of over 2x. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, and the company has considerably exceeded this. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
