WISeKey International Holding AG, a cybersecurity company, provides integrated security solutions in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia Pacific, and Latin America. With the latest financial year loss of US$6.1m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$11m, the CHF44m market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. As path to profitability is the topic on WISeKey International Holding's 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.
According to some industry analysts covering WISeKey International Holding, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2027, before generating positive profits of US$4.2m in 2028. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 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 83% is expected, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
