Market Might Still Lack Some Conviction On DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (CVE:DMGI) Even After 26% Share Price Boost

Despite an already strong run, DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (CVE:DMGI) shares have been powering on, with a gain of 26% in the last thirty days. The annual gain comes to 113% following the latest surge, making investors sit up and take notice.

Although its price has surged higher, it's still not a stretch to say that DMG Blockchain Solutions' price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 3.8x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" compared to the Software industry in Canada, seeing as it matches the P/S ratio of the wider industry. 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 Does DMG Blockchain Solutions' P/S Mean For Shareholders?

For instance, DMG Blockchain Solutions' receding revenue in recent times would have to be some food for thought. It might be that many expect the company to put the disappointing revenue performance behind them over the coming period, which has kept the P/S from falling. If you like the company, you'd at least be hoping this is the case so that you could potentially pick up some stock while it's not quite in favour.

Although there are no analyst estimates available for DMG Blockchain Solutions, take a look at this free data-rich visualisation to see how the company stacks up on earnings, revenue and cash flow.

How Is DMG Blockchain Solutions' Revenue Growth Trending?

The only time you'd be comfortable seeing a P/S like DMG Blockchain Solutions' is when the company's growth is tracking the industry closely.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered a frustrating 16% decrease to the company's top line. In spite of this, the company still managed 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, but investors will want to ask why it is now in decline.

Comparing that recent medium-term revenue trajectory with the industry's one-year growth forecast of 20% shows it's noticeably more attractive.

With this information, we find it interesting that DMG Blockchain Solutions is trading at a fairly similar P/S compared to the industry. It may be that most investors are not convinced the company can maintain its recent growth rates.

What Does DMG Blockchain Solutions' P/S Mean For Investors?

DMG Blockchain Solutions' stock has a lot of momentum behind it lately, which has brought its P/S level with the rest of the industry. 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 didn't quite envision DMG Blockchain Solutions' P/S sitting in line with the wider industry, considering the revenue growth over the last three-year is higher than the current industry outlook. There could be some unobserved threats to revenue preventing the P/S ratio from matching this positive performance. At least the risk of a price drop looks to be subdued if recent medium-term revenue trends continue, but investors seem to think future revenue could see some volatility.

Having said that, be aware DMG Blockchain Solutions is showing 3 warning signs in our investment analysis, and 2 of those are a bit concerning.
