    ioneer Ltd () is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. ioneer Ltd explores for and develops mineral properties in North America. The AU$1.5b market-cap company posted a loss in its most recent financial year of AU$10m and a latest trailing-twelve-month loss of AU$11m leading to an even wider gap between loss and breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on ioneer'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 Australian Metals and Mining analysts is that ioneer is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2024, before generating positive profits of AU$111m in 2025. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 3 years from now. 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 68% 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.

    ASX:INR Earnings Per Share Growth August 12th 2022

    Underlying developments driving ioneer's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, keep in mind that by and large a metal and mining business has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the natural resource mined and stage at which the company is operating. This means, large upcoming growth rates are not abnormal as the company is beginning to reap the benefits of earlier investments.

    One thing we’d like to point out is that ioneer has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making metals and mining 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.
