Investors Appear Satisfied With RYUK-IL C&S.,Ltd.'s (KOSDAQ:191410) Prospects As Shares Rocket 33%

RYUK-IL C&S.,Ltd. (KOSDAQ:191410) shareholders have had their patience rewarded with a 33% share price jump in the last month. But the gains over the last month weren't enough to make shareholders whole, as the share price is still down 6.7% in the last twelve months.

Although its price has surged higher, it's still not a stretch to say that RYUK-IL C&S.Ltd's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.6x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" compared to the Electronic industry in Korea, seeing as it matches the P/S ratio of the wider industry. 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.
