Silver Mountain Resources Inc. (TSE:AGMR) On The Verge Of Breaking Even

Silver Mountain Resources Inc. (TSE:AGMR) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Silver Mountain Resources Inc. engages in the acquisition, exploration, evaluation, and development of precious metal resource properties in Peru. With the latest financial year loss of US$35m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$31m, the CA$203m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which Silver Mountain Resources will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

Silver Mountain Resources is bordering on breakeven, according to the 2 Canadian Metals and Mining analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2025, before generating positive profits of US$31m in 2026. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly a year 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 40%, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Underlying developments driving Silver Mountain Resources' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, take into account that typically a metal and mining business has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the natural resource mined and stage at which the company is operating. 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 Silver Mountain Resources has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning metals and mining company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
