American Tungsten Corp. (CVE:TUNG) Is Expected To Breakeven In The Near Future
We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse American Tungsten Corp.'s (CVE:TUNG) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. American Tungsten Corp., a mineral exploration company, engages in the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of mineral properties in Canada and the United States. With the latest financial year loss of CA$16m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of CA$26m, the CA$126m market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. As path to profitability is the topic on American Tungsten's investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.
Expectations from some of the Canadian Metals and Mining analysts is that American Tungsten is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of CA$4.3m in 2027. So, the company is predicted 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 76%, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
