Not Many Are Piling Into Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE:RWB) Stock Yet As It Plummets 31%

Unfortunately for some shareholders, the Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE:RWB) share price has dived 31% in the last thirty days, prolonging recent pain. Looking back over the past twelve months the stock has been a solid performer regardless, with a gain of 13%.

Since its price has dipped substantially, it would be understandable if you think Red White & Bloom Brands is a stock with good investment prospects with a price-to-sales ratios (or "P/S") of 0.2x, considering almost half the companies in Canada's Pharmaceuticals industry have P/S ratios above 0.9x. Although, it's not wise to just take the P/S at face value as there may be an explanation why it's limited.

How Red White & Bloom Brands Has Been Performing

Red White & Bloom Brands has been doing a good job lately as it's been growing revenue at a solid pace. One possibility is that the P/S is low because investors think this respectable revenue growth might actually underperform the broader industry in the near future. Those who are bullish on Red White & Bloom Brands will be hoping that this isn't the case, so that they can pick up the stock at a lower valuation.

Do Revenue Forecasts Match The Low P/S Ratio?

The only time you'd be truly comfortable seeing a P/S as low as Red White & Bloom Brands' is when the company's growth is on track to lag the industry.

Taking a look back first, we see that the company grew revenue by an impressive 15% last year. The strong recent performance means it was also able to grow revenue by 86% in total over the last three years. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.

Comparing that to the industry, which is only predicted to deliver 8.6% growth in the next 12 months, the company's momentum is stronger based on recent medium-term annualised revenue results.

In light of this, it's peculiar that Red White & Bloom Brands' P/S sits below the majority of other companies. Apparently some shareholders believe the recent performance has exceeded its limits and have been accepting significantly lower selling prices.

The Bottom Line On Red White & Bloom Brands' P/S

The southerly movements of Red White & Bloom Brands' shares means its P/S is now sitting at a pretty low level. Using the price-to-sales ratio alone to determine if you should sell your stock isn't sensible, however it can be a practical guide to the company's future prospects.

Our examination of Red White & Bloom Brands revealed its three-year revenue trends aren't boosting its P/S anywhere near as much as we would have predicted, given they look better than current industry expectations. Potential investors that are sceptical over continued revenue performance may be preventing the P/S ratio from matching previous strong performance. It appears many are indeed anticipating revenue instability, because the persistence of these recent medium-term conditions would normally provide a boost to the share price.
