New Bubbleroom Sweden AB (publ) (STO:BBROOM) Looks Inexpensive After Falling 29% But Perhaps Not Attractive Enough
New Bubbleroom Sweden AB (publ) (STO:BBROOM) shareholders won't be pleased to see that the share price has had a very rough month, dropping 29% and undoing the prior period's positive performance. The drop over the last 30 days has capped off a tough year for shareholders, with the share price down 22% in that time.
Since its price has dipped substantially, considering around half the companies operating in Sweden's Specialty Retail industry have price-to-sales ratios (or "P/S") above 0.7x, you may consider New Bubbleroom Sweden as an solid investment opportunity with its 0.1x 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.

What Does New Bubbleroom Sweden's Recent Performance Look Like?
We'd have to say that with no tangible growth over the last year, New Bubbleroom Sweden's revenue has been unimpressive. It might be that many expect the uninspiring revenue performance to worsen, which has repressed the P/S. Those who are bullish on New Bubbleroom Sweden will be hoping that this isn't the case, so that they can pick up the stock at a lower valuation.
Although there are no analyst estimates available for New Bubbleroom Sweden, take a look at this free data-rich visualisation to see how the company stacks up on earnings, revenue and cash flow.What Are Revenue Growth Metrics Telling Us About The Low P/S?
New Bubbleroom Sweden'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.
Retrospectively, the last year delivered virtually the same number to the company's top line as the year before. Regardless, revenue has managed to lift by a handy 7.1% in aggregate from three years ago, thanks to the earlier period of growth. So it appears to us that the company has had a mixed result in terms of growing revenue over that time.
This is in contrast to the rest of the industry, which is expected to grow by 4.6% over the next year, materially higher than the company's recent medium-term annualised growth rates.
With this information, we can see why New Bubbleroom Sweden is trading at a P/S lower than the industry. Apparently many shareholders weren't comfortable holding on to something they believe will continue to trail the wider industry.
The Bottom Line On New Bubbleroom Sweden's P/S
The southerly movements of New Bubbleroom Sweden's shares means its P/S is now sitting at a pretty low level. Generally, our preference is to limit the use of the price-to-sales ratio to establishing what the market thinks about the overall health of a company.
As we suspected, our examination of New Bubbleroom Sweden revealed its three-year revenue trends are contributing to its low P/S, given they look worse than current industry expectations. Right now shareholders are accepting the low P/S as they concede future revenue probably won't provide any pleasant surprises. If recent medium-term revenue trends continue, it's hard to see the share price experience a reversal of fortunes anytime soon.
