Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (CVE:TBRD) Doing What It Can To Lift Shares

It's not a stretch to say that Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc.'s (CVE:TBRD) price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.5x seems quite "middle-of-the-road" for Entertainment companies in Canada, seeing as it matches the P/S ratio of the wider industry. Although, it's not wise to simply ignore the P/S without explanation as investors may be disregarding a distinct opportunity or a costly mistake.

Do Revenue Forecasts Match The P/S Ratio?

Thunderbird Entertainment Group'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.

Taking a look back first, we see that the company managed to grow revenues by a handy 13% last year. Pleasingly, revenue has also lifted 40% in aggregate from three years ago, partly thanks to the last 12 months of growth. Accordingly, shareholders would have definitely welcomed those medium-term rates of revenue growth.

Turning to the outlook, the next year should generate growth of 15% as estimated by the dual analysts watching the company. That's shaping up to be materially higher than the 13% growth forecast for the broader industry.

In light of this, it's curious that Thunderbird Entertainment Group'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.

What Does Thunderbird Entertainment Group's P/S Mean For Investors?

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.

We've established that Thunderbird Entertainment Group currently trades on a lower than expected P/S since its forecasted revenue growth is higher than the wider industry. There could be some risks that the market is pricing in, which is preventing the P/S ratio from matching the positive outlook. It appears some are indeed anticipating revenue instability, because these conditions should normally provide a boost to the share price.

You always need to take note of risks, for example - Thunderbird Entertainment Group has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.
