Market Might Still Lack Some Conviction On Chanson International Holding (NASDAQ:CHSN) Even After 28% Share Price Boost

Chanson International Holding (NASDAQ:CHSN) shareholders are no doubt pleased to see that the share price has bounced 28% in the last month, although it is still struggling to make up recently lost ground. Still, the 30-day jump doesn't change the fact that longer term shareholders have seen their stock decimated by the 84% share price drop in the last twelve months.

Even after such a large jump in price, you could still be forgiven for feeling indifferent about Chanson International Holding's P/S ratio of 0.5x, since the median price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio for the Consumer Retailing industry in the United States is also close to 0.4x. While this might not raise any eyebrows, if the P/S ratio is not justified investors could be missing out on a potential opportunity or ignoring looming disappointment.

What Does Chanson International Holding's P/S Mean For Shareholders?

What Are Revenue Growth Metrics Telling Us About The P/S?

The only time you'd be comfortable seeing a P/S like Chanson International Holding's is when the company's growth is tracking the industry closely.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a worthy increase of 5.7%. The latest three year period has also seen a 24% overall rise in revenue, aided somewhat by its short-term performance. So we can start by confirming that the company has actually done a good job of growing revenue over that time.

Comparing that to the industry, which is only predicted to deliver 4.8% growth in the next 12 months, the company's momentum is stronger based on recent medium-term annualised revenue results.

In light of this, it's curious that Chanson International Holding's P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. Apparently some shareholders believe the recent performance is at its limits and have been accepting lower selling prices.

What Does Chanson International Holding's P/S Mean For Investors?

Its shares have lifted substantially and now Chanson International Holding's P/S is back within range of the industry median. 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.

We didn't quite envision Chanson International Holding's P/S sitting in line with the wider industry, considering the revenue growth over the last three-year is higher than the current industry outlook. It'd be fair to assume that potential risks the company faces could be the contributing factor to the lower than expected P/S. At least the risk of a price drop looks to be subdued if recent medium-term revenue trends continue, but investors seem to think future revenue could see some volatility.

It's always necessary to consider the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 4 warning signs with Chanson International Holding, and understanding them should be part of your investment process.
