How Is CT Vision S.L. (International) Holdings' Revenue Growth Trending?

The only time you'd be comfortable seeing a P/S like CT Vision S.L. (International) Holdings' is when the company's growth is tracking the industry closely.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered an exceptional 62% gain to the company's top line. Pleasingly, revenue has also lifted 38% in aggregate from three years ago, thanks to the last 12 months of growth. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.

It's interesting to note that the rest of the industry is similarly expected to grow by 10% over the next year, which is fairly even with the company's recent medium-term annualised growth rates.

In light of this, it's understandable that CT Vision S.L. (International) Holdings' P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. Apparently shareholders are comfortable to simply hold on assuming the company will continue keeping a low profile.
