With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:PPSI) future prospects. Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, design, manufacture, integrate, service, and sell distributed energy resources, on site and mobile power generation equipment, and platform of mobile electric vehicle charging solutions. With the latest financial year loss of US$6.4m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$7.7m, the US$36m market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. As path to profitability is the topic on Pioneer Power Solutions' investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.
Consensus from 2 of the American Electrical analysts is that Pioneer Power Solutions is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2027, before generating positive profits of US$183k in 2028. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 2 years from today. 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 72% 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 Pioneer Power Solutions' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, keep in mind that by and large a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
