Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:EOSE) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and markets energy storage solutions for utility-scale, microgrid, and commercial and industrial applications in the United States. On 31 December 2024, the US$1.2b market-cap company posted a loss of US$964m for its most recent financial year. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which Eos Energy Enterprises 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 8 industry analysts covering Eos Energy Enterprises, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2026, before turning a profit of US$522m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 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 120%, 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 Eos Energy Enterprises' upcoming projects, but, bear in mind that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

One thing we would like to bring into light with Eos Energy Enterprises is it currently has negative equity on its balance sheet. Accounting methods used to deal with losses accumulated over time can cause this to occur. This is because liabilities are carried forward into the future until it cancels. These losses tend to occur only on paper, however, in other cases it can be forewarning.
