Mobile-health Network Solutions (NASDAQ:MNDR) Stock Rockets 26% But Many Are Still Ignoring The Company

Mobile-health Network Solutions (NASDAQ:MNDR) shareholders are no doubt pleased to see that the share price has bounced 26% in the last month, although it is still struggling to make up recently lost ground. Longer-term shareholders would be thankful for the recovery in the share price since it's now virtually flat for the year after the recent bounce.

In spite of the firm bounce in price, it's still not a stretch to say that Mobile-health Network Solutions' price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" compared to the Healthcare industry in the United States, where the median P/S ratio is around 1.2x. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/S.

What Does Mobile-health Network Solutions' Recent Performance Look Like?

Mobile-health Network Solutions certainly has been doing a good job lately as it's been growing revenue more than most other companies.

If you like the company, you'd be hoping this isn't the case so that you could potentially pick up some stock while it's not quite in favour.

Keen to find out how analysts think Mobile-health Network Solutions' future stacks up against the industry? In that case, our free report is a great place to start.

Do Revenue Forecasts Match The P/S Ratio?

There's an inherent assumption that a company should be matching the industry for P/S ratios like Mobile-health Network Solutions' to be considered reasonable.

Taking a look back first, we see that the company grew revenue by an impressive 77% last year. The latest three year period has also seen an incredible overall rise in revenue, aided by its incredible short-term performance. So we can start by confirming that the company has done a tremendous job of growing revenue over that time.

Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 85% during the coming year according to the one analyst following the company. That's shaping up to be materially higher than the 8.7% growth forecast for the broader industry.

With this information, we find it interesting that Mobile-health Network Solutions is trading at a fairly similar P/S compared to the industry. It may be that most investors aren't convinced the company can achieve future growth expectations.

The Bottom Line On Mobile-health Network Solutions' P/S

Its shares have lifted substantially and now Mobile-health Network Solutions' P/S is back within range of the industry median. Using the price-to-sales ratio alone to determine if you should sell your stock isn't sensible, however it can be a practical guide to the company's future prospects.

Despite enticing revenue growth figures that outpace the industry, Mobile-health Network Solutions' P/S isn't quite what we'd expect. There could be some risks that the market is pricing in, which is preventing the P/S ratio from matching the positive outlook. However, if you agree with the analysts' forecasts, you may be able to pick up the stock at an attractive price.
