Aramis Group SAS (EPA:ARAMI) Stock Rockets 27% But Many Are Still Ignoring The Company

The Aramis Group SAS (EPA:ARAMI) share price has done very well over the last month, posting an excellent gain of 27%. Not all shareholders will be feeling jubilant, since the share price is still down a very disappointing 13% in the last twelve months.

Even after such a large jump in price, it's still not a stretch to say that Aramis Group SAS' price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.2x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" compared to the Specialty Retail industry in France, seeing as it matches the P/S ratio of the wider industry. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/S.
