The Market Lifts ÉPDUFERR Nyilvánosan Muködo Részvénytársaság (BUSE:EPDUFERR) Shares 26% But It Can Do More

Those holding ÉPDUFERR Nyilvánosan Muködo Részvénytársaság (BUSE:EPDUFERR) shares would be relieved that the share price has rebounded 26% in the last thirty days, but it needs to keep going to repair the recent damage it has caused to investor portfolios. Looking back a bit further, it's encouraging to see the stock is up 40% in the last year.

Even after such a large jump in price, you could still be forgiven for feeling indifferent about ÉPDUFERR Nyilvánosan Muködo Részvénytársaság's P/S ratio of 0.5x, since the median price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio for the Construction industry in Hungary is about the same. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/S.

Do Revenue Forecasts Match The P/S Ratio?

There's an inherent assumption that a company should be matching the industry for P/S ratios like ÉPDUFERR Nyilvánosan Muködo Részvénytársaság's to be considered reasonable.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered an exceptional 31% gain to the company's top line.

Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.

When compared to the industry's one-year growth forecast of 6.4%, the most recent medium-term revenue trajectory is noticeably more alluring

In light of this, it's curious that ÉPDUFERR Nyilvánosan Muködo Részvénytársaság's P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. It may be that most investors are not convinced the company can maintain its recent growth rates.
