Is There Some Revenue Growth Forecasted For Pashupati Cotspin?

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

Retrospectively, the last year delivered an exceptional 49% gain to the company's top line. Pleasingly, revenue has also lifted 50% in aggregate from three years ago, thanks to the last 12 months of growth. Accordingly, shareholders would have definitely welcomed those medium-term rates of revenue growth.

It's interesting to note that the rest of the industry is similarly expected to grow by 13% over the next year, which is fairly even with the company's recent medium-term annualised growth rates.

What We Can Learn From Pashupati Cotspin's P/S?
