We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse BingEx Limited’s (NASDAQ:FLX) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. BingEx Limited, through its subsidiaries, engages in the provision of on-demand dedicated courier services under the FlashEx brand name in the People’s Republic of China. With the latest financial year loss of CN¥260m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of CN¥210m, the US$215m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which BingEx will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company’s growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.
Expectations from some of the American Logistics analysts is that BingEx is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2024, before turning a profit of CN¥88m in 2025. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 12 months from now or less. How fast will the company have to grow to reach the consensus forecasts that anticipate breakeven by 2025? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 87% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Underlying developments driving BingEx’s growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, keep in mind that by and large a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we’d like to point out is that BingEx has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning growth company, which usually has a high level of debt relative to its equity. This means that the company has been operating purely on its equity investment and has no debt burden. This aspect reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
