Jianzhi Education Technology Group Company Limited's (NASDAQ:JZ) Shares Leap 27% Yet They're Still Not Telling The Full Story

Those holding Jianzhi Education Technology Group Company Limited (NASDAQ:JZ) shares would be relieved that the share price has rebounded 27% in the last thirty days, but it needs to keep going to repair the recent damage it has caused to investor portfolios. Still, the 30-day jump doesn't change the fact that longer term shareholders have seen their stock decimated by the 55% share price drop in the last twelve months.

In spite of the firm bounce in price, given about half the companies operating in the United States' Consumer Services industry have price-to-sales ratios (or "P/S") above 1.2x, you may still consider Jianzhi Education Technology Group as an attractive investment with its 0.6x P/S ratio. Although, it's not wise to just take the P/S at face value as there may be an explanation why it's limited.
