Positive Sentiment Still Eludes mm2 Asia Ltd. (SGX:1B0) Following 33% Share Price Slump

Unfortunately for some shareholders, the mm2 Asia Ltd. (SGX:1B0) share price has dived 33% in the last thirty days, prolonging recent pain. For any long-term shareholders, the last month ends a year to forget by locking in a 75% share price decline.

After such a large drop in price, it would be understandable if you think mm2 Asia is a stock with good investment prospects with a price-to-sales ratios (or "P/S") of 0.2x, considering almost half the companies in Singapore's Entertainment industry have P/S ratios above 1.5x. Nonetheless, we'd need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the reduced P/S.

Is There Any Revenue Growth Forecasted For mm2 Asia?

The only time you'd be truly comfortable seeing a P/S as low as mm2 Asia's is when the company's growth is on track to lag the industry.

In reviewing the last year of financials, we were disheartened to see the company's revenues fell to the tune of 17%. However, a few very strong years before that means that it was still able to grow revenue by an impressive 98% in total over the last three years. Accordingly, while they would have preferred to keep the run going, shareholders would definitely welcome the medium-term rates of revenue growth.

Comparing that to the industry, which is predicted to deliver 24% growth in the next 12 months, the company's momentum is pretty similar based on recent medium-term annualised revenue results.

With this information, we find it odd that mm2 Asia is trading at a P/S lower than the industry. Apparently some shareholders are more bearish than recent times would indicate and have been accepting lower selling prices.
