Invivyd, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVVD) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Invivyd, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of antibody-based solutions for infectious diseases in the United States. The US$92m market-cap company’s loss lessened since it announced a US$170m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$143m, as it approaches breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which Invivyd will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

According to the 3 industry analysts covering Invivyd, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2025, before turning a profit of US$123m in 2026. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven just over a year 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 52%, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

We're not going to go through company-specific developments for Invivyd given that this is a high-level summary, though, bear in mind that typically biotechs, depending on the stage of product development, have irregular periods of cash flow. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.

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