WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc.'s (NASDAQ:WIMI) 38% Dip Still Leaving Some Shareholders Feeling Restless Over Its P/SRatio

Unfortunately for some shareholders, the WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ:WIMI) share price has dived 38% in the last thirty days, prolonging recent pain. The drop over the last 30 days has capped off a tough year for shareholders, with the share price down 40% in that time.

Even after such a large drop in price, you could still be forgiven for feeling indifferent about WiMi Hologram Cloud's P/S ratio of 0.5x, since the median price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio for the Media industry in the United States is also close to 0.8x. 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.

How WiMi Hologram Cloud Has Been Performing

The revenue growth achieved at WiMi Hologram Cloud over the last year would be more than acceptable for most companies. One possibility is that the P/S is moderate because investors think this respectable revenue growth might not be enough to outperform the broader industry in the near future. If that doesn't eventuate, then existing shareholders probably aren't too pessimistic about the future direction of the share price.

Is There Some Revenue Growth Forecasted For WiMi Hologram Cloud?

WiMi Hologram Cloud's 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 an exceptional 19% gain to the company's top line. Still, revenue has fallen 45% in total from three years ago, which is quite disappointing. So unfortunately, we have to acknowledge that the company has not done a great job of growing revenues over that time.

Comparing that to the industry, which is predicted to deliver 0.3% growth in the next 12 months, the company's downward momentum based on recent medium-term revenue results is a sobering picture.

In light of this, it's somewhat alarming that WiMi Hologram Cloud's P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. Apparently many investors in the company are way less bearish than recent times would indicate and aren't willing to let go of their stock right now. There's a good chance existing shareholders are setting themselves up for future disappointment if the P/S falls to levels more in line with the recent negative growth rates.

What Does WiMi Hologram Cloud's P/S Mean For Investors?

With its share price dropping off a cliff, the P/S for WiMi Hologram Cloud looks to be in line with the rest of the Media industry. It's argued the price-to-sales ratio is an inferior measure of value within certain industries, but it can be a powerful business sentiment indicator.

Our look at WiMi Hologram Cloud revealed its shrinking revenues over the medium-term haven't impacted the P/S as much as we anticipated, given the industry is set to grow. Even though it matches the industry, we're uncomfortable with the current P/S ratio, as this dismal revenue performance is unlikely to support a more positive sentiment for long. Unless the the circumstances surrounding the recent medium-term improve, it wouldn't be wrong to expect a a difficult period ahead for the company's shareholders.
