The Market Lifts Bang Overseas Limited (NSE:BANG) Shares 45% But It Can Do More

The Bang Overseas Limited (NSE:BANG) share price has done very well over the last month, posting an excellent gain of 45%. Looking back a bit further, it's encouraging to see the stock is up 36% in the last year.

In spite of the firm bounce in price, you could still be forgiven for feeling indifferent about Bang Overseas' P/S ratio of 0.7x, since the median price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio for the Luxury industry in India is also close to 1.1x. 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.

How Bang Overseas Has Been Performing

Recent times have been quite advantageous for Bang Overseas as its revenue has been rising very briskly.

Is There Some Revenue Growth Forecasted For Bang Overseas?

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

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 33%. The latest three year period has also seen an excellent 116% overall rise in revenue, aided by its short-term performance. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.

Comparing that to the industry, which is only predicted to deliver 23% growth in the next 12 months, the company's momentum is stronger based on recent medium-term annualised revenue results.

With this information, we find it interesting that Bang Overseas 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.
