Further Upside For Majuperak Holdings Berhad (KLSE:MJPERAK) Shares Could Introduce Price Risks After 26% Bounce

Majuperak Holdings Berhad (KLSE:MJPERAK) shareholders would be excited to see that the share price has had a great month, posting a 26% gain and recovering from prior weakness. Unfortunately, the gains of the last month did little to right the losses of the last year with the stock still down 31% over that time.

Even after such a large jump in price, when close to half the companies operating in Malaysia's Real Estate industry have price-to-sales ratios (or "P/S") above 1.4x, you may still consider Majuperak Holdings Berhad as an enticing stock to check out with its 0.9x P/S ratio. Although, it's not wise to just take the P/S at face value as there may be an explanation why it's limited.

Do Revenue Forecasts Match The Low P/S Ratio?

Majuperak Holdings Berhad's P/S ratio would be typical for a company that's only expected to deliver limited growth, and importantly, perform worse than the industry.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 104%. The latest three year period has also seen an excellent 113% overall rise in revenue, aided by its short-term performance. So we can start by confirming that the company has done a great job of growing revenue over that time.

When compared to the industry's one-year growth forecast of 11%, the most recent medium-term revenue trajectory is noticeably more alluring

With this in mind, we find it intriguing that Majuperak Holdings Berhad's P/S isn't as high compared to that of its industry peers. It looks like most investors are not convinced the company can maintain its recent growth rates.

The Bottom Line On Majuperak Holdings Berhad's P/S

Despite Majuperak Holdings Berhad's share price climbing recently, its P/S still lags most other companies. 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.

Our examination of Majuperak Holdings Berhad revealed its three-year revenue trends aren't boosting its P/S anywhere near as much as we would have predicted, given they look better than current industry expectations. Potential investors that are sceptical over continued revenue performance may be preventing the P/S ratio from matching previous strong performance. While recent revenue trends over the past medium-term suggest that the risk of a price decline is low, investors appear to perceive a likelihood of revenue fluctuations in the future.
