We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse CICT Mobile Communication Technology Co., Ltd.'s (SHSE:688387) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. CICT Mobile Communication Technology Co., Ltd. With the latest financial year loss of CN¥357m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of CN¥553m, the CN¥18b market-cap company amplified its loss by moving further away from its breakeven target. As path to profitability is the topic on CICT Mobile Communication Technology'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.

Consensus from 3 of the Chinese Communications analysts is that CICT Mobile Communication Technology is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2023, before generating positive profits of CN¥65m in 2024. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 12 months from now or less. We calculated the rate at which the company must grow to meet the consensus forecasts predicting breakeven within 12 months. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 157% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won't go into details of CICT Mobile Communication Technology's upcoming projects, however, 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.

Before we wrap up, there's one aspect worth mentioning. The company has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 27% 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.
