We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse NBR Motion Co., Ltd.'s (KOSDAQ:0004V0) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. NBR Motion Co., Ltd. manufactures steel ball and tapered roller for precise ball bearings, automobile, electronic, machinery, and automation industries. The company’s loss has recently broadened since it announced a ₩12b loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of ₩14b, moving it further away from breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is NBR Motion's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.
According to the 2 industry analysts covering NBR Motion, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2025, before generating positive profits of ₩10b in 2026. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 12 months from now or less. How fast will the company have to grow to reach the consensus forecasts that anticipate breakeven by 2026? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 78% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of NBR Motion's upcoming projects, though, keep in mind that generally a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
