With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at REE Automotive Ltd.'s (NASDAQ:REE) future prospects. REE Automotive Ltd. operates as an automotive technology company in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and internationally. With the latest financial year loss of US$114m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$110m, the US$146m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on REE Automotive's investors mind, we've decided to gauge market sentiment. We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

REE Automotive is bordering on breakeven, according to the 2 American Auto Components analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2026, before generating positive profits of US$6.0m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years 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 58% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

We're not going to go through company-specific developments for REE Automotive given that this is a high-level summary, though, bear in mind that typically a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we would like to bring into light with REE Automotive is its relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in REE Automotive's case is 43%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.
