Revenues Tell The Story For Snap One Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:SNPO) As Its Stock Soars 26%

Snap One Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:SNPO) shares have had a really impressive month, gaining 26% after a shaky period beforehand. Looking further back, the 24% rise over the last twelve months isn't too bad notwithstanding the strength over the last 30 days.

In spite of the firm bounce in price, you could still be forgiven for feeling indifferent about Snap One Holdings' P/S ratio of 0.7x, since the median price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio for the Consumer Durables industry in the United States is about the same.

How Is Snap One Holdings' Revenue Growth Trending?

Snap One Holdings' P/S ratio would be typical for a company that's only expected to deliver moderate growth, and importantly, perform in line with the industry.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered a frustrating 5.7% decrease to the company's top line. However, a few very strong years before that means that it was still able to grow revenue by an impressive 31% 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.

Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 5.7% each year during the coming three years according to the eight analysts following the company. With the industry predicted to deliver 4.1% growth per annum, the company is positioned for a comparable revenue result.

With this in mind, it makes sense that Snap One Holdings' P/S is closely matching its industry peers. Apparently shareholders are comfortable to simply hold on while the company is keeping a low profile.
