According to the 6 industry analysts covering CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2021, before generating positive profits of US$72m in 2022. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 12 months from now or less.
