Investors Don't See Light At End Of PAKERS.Co.,Ltd.'s (KOSDAQ:065690) Tunnel And Push Stock Down 27%

PAKERS.Co.,Ltd. (KOSDAQ:065690) shares have had a horrible month, losing 27% after a relatively good period beforehand. Instead of being rewarded, shareholders who have already held through the last twelve months are now sitting on a 30% share price drop.

After such a large drop in price, when close to half the companies operating in Korea's Electronic industry have price-to-sales ratios (or "P/S") above 0.7x, you may consider PAKERS.Co.Ltd as an enticing stock to check out with its 0.2x P/S ratio. Nonetheless, we'd need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the reduced P/S.

How Has PAKERS.Co.Ltd Performed Recently?

For instance, PAKERS.Co.Ltd's receding revenue in recent times would have to be some food for thought. It might be that many expect the disappointing revenue performance to continue or accelerate, which has repressed the P/S. If you like the company, you'd be hoping this isn't the case so that you could potentially pick up some stock while it's out of favour.

How Is PAKERS.Co.Ltd's Revenue Growth Trending?

In order to justify its P/S ratio, PAKERS.Co.Ltd would need to produce sluggish growth that's trailing the industry.

Taking a look back first, the company's revenue growth last year wasn't something to get excited about as it posted a disappointing decline of 3.7%. This means it has also seen a slide in revenue over the longer-term as revenue is down 28% in total over the last three years. So unfortunately, we have to acknowledge that the company has not done a great job of growing revenue over that time.

In contrast to the company, the rest of the industry is expected to grow by 5.8% over the next year, which really puts the company's recent medium-term revenue decline into perspective.

In light of this, it's understandable that PAKERS.Co.Ltd's P/S would sit below the majority of other companies. Nonetheless, there's no guarantee the P/S has reached a floor yet with revenue going in reverse. There's potential for the P/S to fall to even lower levels if the company doesn't improve its top-line growth.

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

PAKERS.Co.Ltd's P/S has taken a dip along with its share price. Using the price-to-sales ratio alone to determine if you should sell your stock isn't sensible, however it can be a practical guide to the company's future prospects.

It's no surprise that PAKERS.Co.Ltd maintains its low P/S off the back of its sliding revenue over the medium-term. Right now shareholders are accepting the low P/S as they concede future revenue probably won't provide any pleasant surprises either. Unless the recent medium-term conditions improve, they will continue to form a barrier for the share price around these levels.
