What Does DAEYANG ELECTRIC.Co.Ltd's P/S Mean For Shareholders?

Recent times have been pleasing for DAEYANG ELECTRIC.Co.Ltd as its revenue has risen in spite of the industry's average revenue going into reverse.

Do Revenue Forecasts Match The P/S Ratio?

DAEYANG ELECTRIC.Co.Ltd's P/S ratio would be typical for a company that's only expected to deliver moderate growth, and importantly, perform in line with the industry.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered an exceptional 35% gain to the company's top line. Although, its longer-term performance hasn't been as strong with three-year revenue growth being relatively non-existent overall. Accordingly, shareholders probably wouldn't have been overly satisfied with the unstable medium-term growth rates.

Turning to the outlook, the next year should generate growth of 15% as estimated by the one analyst watching the company. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is forecast to only expand by 4.3%, which is noticeably less attractive.

In light of this, it's curious that DAEYANG ELECTRIC.Co.Ltd's P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. It may be that most investors aren't convinced the company can achieve future growth expectations.

The Bottom Line On DAEYANG ELECTRIC.Co.Ltd's P/S

It's argued the price-to-sales ratio is an inferior measure of value within certain industries, but it can be a powerful business sentiment indicator.

Despite enticing revenue growth figures that outpace the industry, DAEYANG ELECTRIC.Co.Ltd'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. It appears some are indeed anticipating revenue instability, because these conditions should normally provide a boost to the share price.
