Is There Any Revenue Growth Forecasted For mm2 Asia?

There's an inherent assumption that a company should underperform the industry for P/S ratios like mm2 Asia's to be considered reasonable.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 49%. The strong recent performance means it was also able to grow revenue by 164% in total over the last three years. 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 15%, the most recent medium-term revenue trajectory is noticeably more alluring

In light of this, it's peculiar that mm2 Asia's P/S sits below the majority of other companies. It looks like most investors are not convinced the company can maintain its recent growth rates.

The Final Word

Typically, we'd caution against reading too much into price-to-sales ratios when settling on investment decisions, though it can reveal plenty about what other market participants think about the company.

Our examination of mm2 Asia 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. It appears many are indeed anticipating revenue instability, because the persistence of these recent medium-term conditions would normally provide a boost to the share price.
