Positive Sentiment Still Eludes DYPNF Co.,Ltd (KOSDAQ:104460) Following 26% Share Price Slump
DYPNF Co.,Ltd (KOSDAQ:104460) shareholders that were waiting for something to happen have been dealt a blow with a 26% share price drop in the last month. The recent drop completes a disastrous twelve months for shareholders, who are sitting on a 51% loss during that time.
In spite of the heavy fall in price, there still wouldn't be many who think DYPNFLtd's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.5x is worth a mention when the median P/S in Korea's Machinery industry is similar at about 0.9x. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/S.

What Does DYPNFLtd's P/S Mean For Shareholders?
Recent revenue growth for DYPNFLtd has been in line with the industry. Perhaps the market is expecting future revenue performance to show no drastic signs of changing, justifying the P/S being at current levels. If this is the case, then at least existing shareholders won't be losing sleep over the current share price.

In order to justify its P/S ratio, DYPNFLtd would need to produce growth that's similar to the industry.
Taking a look back first, we see that the company grew revenue by an impressive 22% last year. However, the latest three year period hasn't been as great in aggregate as it didn't manage to provide any growth at all. So it appears to us that the company has had a mixed result in terms of growing revenue over that time.
Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 73% during the coming year according to the lone analyst following the company. With the industry only predicted to deliver 37%, the company is positioned for a stronger revenue result.
In light of this, it's curious that DYPNFLtd's P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. Apparently some shareholders are skeptical of the forecasts and have been accepting lower selling prices.
What We Can Learn From DYPNFLtd's P/S?
Following DYPNFLtd's share price tumble, its P/S is just clinging on to the industry median P/S. Typically, we'd caution against reading too much into price-to-sales ratios when settling on investment decisions, though it can reveal plenty about what other market participants think about the company.
Despite enticing revenue growth figures that outpace the industry, DYPNFLtd's P/S isn't quite what we'd expect. There could be some risks that the market is pricing in, which is preventing the P/S ratio from matching the positive outlook. At least the risk of a price drop looks to be subdued, but investors seem to think future revenue could see some volatility.
