The Market Lifts MOG Digitech Holdings Limited (HKG:1942) Shares 41% But It Can Do More

Those holding MOG Digitech Holdings Limited (HKG:1942) shares would be relieved that the share price has rebounded 41% in the last thirty days, but it needs to keep going to repair the recent damage it has caused to investor portfolios. But the last month did very little to improve the 64% share price decline over the last year.

Even after such a large jump in price, you could still be forgiven for feeling indifferent about MOG Digitech Holdings' P/S ratio of 0.4x, since the median price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio for the Electronic industry in Hong Kong is also close to 0.3x. 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.

Is There Some Revenue Growth Forecasted For MOG Digitech Holdings?

There's an inherent assumption that a company should be matching the industry for P/S ratios like MOG Digitech Holdings' to be considered reasonable.

In reviewing the last year of financials, we were disheartened to see the company's revenues fell to the tune of 12%. 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 19% shows it's noticeably more attractive.

In light of this, it's curious that MOG Digitech Holdings' P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. Apparently some shareholders believe the recent performance is at its limits and have been accepting lower selling prices.

The Bottom Line On MOG Digitech Holdings' P/S

MOG Digitech Holdings' stock has a lot of momentum behind it lately, which has brought its P/S level with the rest of the industry. Generally, our preference is to limit the use of the price-to-sales ratio to establishing what the market thinks about the overall health of a company.

To our surprise, MOG Digitech Holdings revealed its three-year revenue trends aren't contributing to its P/S as much as we would have predicted, given they look better than current industry expectations. There could be some unobserved threats to revenue preventing the P/S ratio from matching this positive performance. It appears some are indeed anticipating revenue instability, because the persistence of these recent medium-term conditions would normally provide a boost to the share price.
