HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:HTCR) Could Be Less Than A Year Away From Profitability

HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:HTCR) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. HeartCore Enterprises, Inc., a software development company, provides Software as a Service solutions to enterprise customers in Japan and internationally. With the latest financial year loss of US$4.2m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$7.4m, the US$15m market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. The most pressing concern for investors is HeartCore Enterprises' path to profitability – when will it breakeven? Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

View our latest analysis for HeartCore Enterprises

HeartCore Enterprises is bordering on breakeven, according to some American Software analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2023, before turning a profit of US$216k in 2024. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly a year from now or less! At what rate will the company have to grow in order to realise the consensus estimates forecasting breakeven in under 12 months? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 163%, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Underlying developments driving HeartCore Enterprises' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, bear in mind that generally a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

Before we wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. The company has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 37% 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.
