Cautious Investors Not Rewarding Gorilla Technology Group Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GRRR) Performance Completely

Gorilla Technology Group Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GRRR) price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.4x might make it look like a strong buy right now compared to the Software industry in the United States, where around half of the companies have P/S ratios above 4.6x and even P/S above 11x are quite common. Nonetheless, we'd need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the highly reduced P/S.

Is There Any Revenue Growth Forecasted For Gorilla Technology Group?

The only time you'd be truly comfortable seeing a P/S as depressed as Gorilla Technology Group's is when the company's growth is on track to lag the industry decidedly.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 189%. Pleasingly, revenue has also lifted 42% in aggregate from three years ago, thanks to the last 12 months of growth. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.

Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 22% during the coming year according to the three analysts following the company. That's shaping up to be materially higher than the 14% growth forecast for the broader industry.

With this information, we find it odd that Gorilla Technology Group is trading at a P/S lower than the industry. Apparently some shareholders are doubtful of the forecasts and have been accepting significantly lower selling prices.

What Does Gorilla Technology Group's P/S Mean For Investors?

Generally, our preference is to limit the use of the price-to-sales ratio to establishing what the market thinks about the overall health of a company.
