When Will Fathom Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:FTHM) Breakeven?

We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Fathom Holdings Inc.'s (NASDAQ:FTHM) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Fathom Holdings Inc. provides cloud-based real estate brokerage services in the South, Atlantic, Southwest, and Western parts of the United States. With the latest financial year loss of US$12m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$19m, the US$107m market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which Fathom Holdings will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

Check out our latest analysis for Fathom Holdings

Consensus from 2 of the American Real Estate analysts is that Fathom Holdings is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2023, before turning a profit of US$9.5m in 2024. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 102% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Underlying developments driving Fathom Holdings' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, bear in mind that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

Before we wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. The company has managed its capital prudently, with debt making up 9.1% of equity. This means that it has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital, and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
