Investors Aren't Entirely Convinced By PopReach Corporation's (CVE:INIK) Revenues

It's not a stretch to say that PopReach Corporation's (CVE:INIK) price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.2x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" for companies in the Entertainment industry in Canada, where the median P/S ratio is around 0.5x. While this might not raise any eyebrows, if the P/S ratio is not justified investors could be missing out on a potential opportunity or ignoring looming disappointment.

What Are Revenue Growth Metrics Telling Us About The P/S?

PopReach's P/S ratio would be typical for a company that's only expected to deliver moderate growth, and importantly, perform in line with the industry.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 84%. This great performance means it was also able to deliver immense revenue growth over the last three years. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.

Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 16% during the coming year according to the three analysts following the company. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is forecast to only expand by 11%, which is noticeably less attractive.

In light of this, it's curious that PopReach's P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. It may be that most investors aren't convinced the company can achieve future growth expectations.

The Bottom Line On PopReach's P/S

We'd say the price-to-sales ratio's power isn't primarily as a valuation instrument but rather to gauge current investor sentiment and future expectations.

Despite enticing revenue growth figures that outpace the industry, PopReach's P/S isn't quite what we'd expect. Perhaps uncertainty in the revenue forecasts are what's keeping the P/S ratio consistent with the rest of the industry. At least the risk of a price drop looks to be subdued, but investors seem to think future revenue could see some volatility.

It's always necessary to consider the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 4 warning signs with PopReach (at least 1 which makes us a bit uncomfortable), and understanding them should be part of your investment process.
