TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF) Is Expected To Breakeven In The Near Future

TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. TeraWulf Inc., together with its subsidiaries, operates as a digital asset technology company in the United States. With the latest financial year loss of US$60m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$109m, the US$114m market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which TeraWulf 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.

Expectations from some of the American Software analysts is that TeraWulf is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2022, before turning a profit of US$27m in 2023. So, the company is predicted to breakeven just over a year 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 103%, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of TeraWulf's upcoming projects, though, keep 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 issue worth mentioning. TeraWulf currently has a debt-to-equity ratio of 105%. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, and the company has considerably exceeded this. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
