Vitzrosys. Co., Ltd (KOSDAQ:054220) Doing What It Can To Lift Shares

It's not a stretch to say that Vitzrosys. Co., Ltd's (KOSDAQ:054220) price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.9x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" for companies in the Electronic industry in Korea, where the median P/S ratio is around 0.6x. 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 Is Vitzrosys' Revenue Growth Trending?

In order to justify its P/S ratio, Vitzrosys would need to produce growth that's similar to the industry.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 41%. Pleasingly, revenue has also lifted 279% 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.

Comparing that recent medium-term revenue trajectory with the industry's one-year growth forecast of 10% shows it's noticeably more attractive.

With this information, we find it interesting that Vitzrosys is trading at a fairly similar P/S compared to the industry. Apparently some shareholders believe the recent performance is at its limits and have been accepting lower selling prices.

The Bottom Line On Vitzrosys' P/S

While the price-to-sales ratio shouldn't be the defining factor in whether you buy a stock or not, it's quite a capable barometer of revenue expectations.

We've established that Vitzrosys currently trades on a lower than expected P/S since its recent three-year growth is higher than the wider industry forecast. There could be some unobserved threats to revenue preventing the P/S ratio from matching this positive performance. At least the risk of a price drop looks to be subdued if recent medium-term revenue trends continue, but investors seem to think future revenue could see some volatility.
