With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at ReadCloud Limited's (ASX:RCL) future prospects. ReadCloud Limited provides eLearning software and industry based training solutions to schools and educational institutions in Australia. On 30 September 2025, the AU$18m market-cap company posted a loss of AU$416k for its most recent financial year. The most pressing concern for investors is ReadCloud's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.
According to some industry analysts covering ReadCloud, breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2025, before turning a profit of AU$700k in 2026. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 12 months from now or less. We calculated the rate at which the company must grow to meet the consensus forecasts predicting breakeven within 12 months. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 75% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Underlying developments driving ReadCloud's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, keep in mind that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

One thing we’d like to point out is that ReadCloud has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning growth 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.
