Simply Wall St.
20 Dec 2024

ContextLogic Inc. (NASDAQ:LOGC) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. ContextLogic Inc. does not have significant operations. The US$175m market-cap company posted a loss in its most recent financial year of US$317m and a latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$141m shrinking the gap between loss and breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is ContextLogic's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

Check out our latest analysis for ContextLogic

According to some industry analysts covering ContextLogic, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2024, before generating positive profits of US$3.9m in 2025. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven just over a year from today. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2025? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 107% year-on-year, on average, 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 ContextLogic's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, take into account that by and large 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 aspect worth mentioning. ContextLogic currently has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making growth company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
