According to some industry analysts covering Jiangsu Guofu Hydrogen Energy Equipment, breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of CN¥44m in 2027. The company is therefore projected to breakeven just over a year from today. 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 129%, which is extremely buoyant.
