With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at Procore Technologies, Inc.'s (NYSE:PCOR) future prospects. Procore Technologies, Inc. provides a cloud-based construction management platform and related software products in the United States and internationally. On 31 December 2023, the US$11b market-cap company posted a loss of US$190m for its most recent financial year. The most pressing concern for investors is Procore Technologies' path to profitability – when will it breakeven? In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

Consensus from 17 of the American Software analysts is that Procore Technologies is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2025, before turning a profit of US$17m in 2026. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 2 years from now. What rate will the company have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 43%, 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 Procore Technologies' upcoming projects, however, bear in mind that by and large a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

One thing we'd like to point out is that Procore Technologies has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making growth company, which usually has a high level of 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.
