Amosense Co.,Ltd. (KOSDAQ:357580) Stock's 26% Dive Might Signal An Opportunity But It Requires Some Scrutiny

Amosense Co.,Ltd. (KOSDAQ:357580) shareholders that were waiting for something to happen have been dealt a blow with a 26% share price drop in the last month. Instead of being rewarded, shareholders who have already held through the last twelve months are now sitting on a 48% share price drop.

Even after such a large drop in price, it's still not a stretch to say that AmosenseLtd's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.8x 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. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/S.

How AmosenseLtd Has Been Performing

AmosenseLtd certainly has been doing a good job lately as it's been growing revenue more than most other companies. It might be that many expect the strong revenue performance to wane, which has kept the P/S ratio from rising. 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 not quite in favour.

Is There Some Revenue Growth Forecasted For AmosenseLtd?

The only time you'd be comfortable seeing a P/S like AmosenseLtd's is when the company's growth is tracking the industry closely.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 74%. The latest three year period has also seen an excellent 173% overall rise in revenue, aided by its short-term performance. Accordingly, shareholders would have definitely welcomed those medium-term rates of revenue growth.

Turning to the outlook, the next year should generate growth of 43% as estimated by the one analyst watching the company. With the industry only predicted to deliver 12%, the company is positioned for a stronger revenue result.

With this in consideration, we find it intriguing that AmosenseLtd's P/S is closely matching its industry peers. It may be that most investors aren't convinced the company can achieve future growth expectations.

The Bottom Line On AmosenseLtd's P/S

AmosenseLtd's plummeting stock price has brought its P/S back to a similar region as the rest of the industry. 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.

Looking at AmosenseLtd's analyst forecasts revealed that its superior revenue outlook isn't giving the boost to its P/S that we would've expected. Perhaps uncertainty in the revenue forecasts are what's keeping the P/S ratio consistent with the rest of the industry. This uncertainty seems to be reflected in the share price which, while stable, could be higher given the revenue forecasts.
