We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse AvePoint, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AVPT) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. AvePoint, Inc. provides cloud-native data management software platform in North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. With the latest financial year loss of US$22m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$14m, the US$2.2b market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which AvePoint will turn a profit, with the big question being "when will the company breakeven?" Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts' expectations for the company.

According to the 7 industry analysts covering AvePoint, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2024, before turning a profit of US$461k in 2025. So, the company is predicted to breakeven just over a year from today. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 101% 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 AvePoint's upcoming projects, but, take into account 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. AvePoint currently 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.
