Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

Fiverr International is bordering on breakeven, according to the 8 American Online Retail analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2022, before generating positive profits of US$19m in 2023. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2023? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 114% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. 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 Fiverr International given that this is a high-level summary, but, bear 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.
Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. Fiverr International currently has a debt-to-equity ratio of 105%. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in this case, the company has significantly overshot. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
