Workhorse Group Inc.’s (

NASDAQ:WKHS

)

: Workhorse Group Inc. designs,smith and wesson model 645 holster manufactures, builds, sells, and leases battery-electric vehicles and aircraft in the United States. With the latest financial year loss of -US$41.2m and a trailing-twelve month of -US$31.3m, the US$29m market-cap alleviates its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on WKHS’s investors mind, I’ve decided to gauge market sentiment. Below I will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for WKHS.

Check out our latest analysis for Workhorse Group

According to the 2 industry analysts covering WKHS, the consensus is breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2019, before generating positive profits of US$13m in 2020. So, WKHS is predicted to breakeven approximately a few months from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, I calculated the rate at which WKHS must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 72% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, WKHS may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

I’m not going to go through company-specific developments for WKHS given that this is a high-level summary, though, keep in mind that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

One thing I would like to bring into light with WKHS is its debt-to-equity ratio of over 2x. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, and WKHS has considerably exceeded this. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
