Consensus from 4 of the Australian Metals and Mining analysts is that Sinclair Gold is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2028, before turning a profit of AU$7.5m in 2029. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 3 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2029? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 59% year-on-year, on average, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
