Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria's (STO:VISC) Profit Outlook
With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria's (STO:VISC) future prospects. Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria engages in the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources in Sweden. The kr7.0b market-cap company posted a loss in its most recent financial year of kr109m and a latest trailing-twelve-month loss of kr139m leading to an even wider gap between loss and breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria 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.
Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria is bordering on breakeven, according to some Swedish Metals and Mining analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2027, before turning a profit of kr226m in 2028. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 2 years from now. 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 67%, which signals high confidence from analysts. 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 Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria's upcoming projects, however, bear in mind that by and large 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. So, a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
