Angi Inc. (NASDAQ:ANGI) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Angi Inc. connects home service professionals with consumers in the United States and internationally. On 31 December 2023, the US$1.1b market-cap company posted a loss of US$31m for its most recent financial year. The most pressing concern for investors is Angi's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

Angi is bordering on breakeven, according to the 8 American Interactive Media and Services analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2024, before generating positive profits of US$30m in 2025. 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 54%, which is rather optimistic! 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 Angi given that this is a high-level summary, however, take into account 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 Angi is its relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn't exceed 40% of your equity, which in Angi's case is 47%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
