Market Cool On Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GRYP) Revenues Pushing Shares 28% Lower

Unfortunately for some shareholders, the Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRYP) share price has dived 28% in the last thirty days, prolonging recent pain. Longer-term shareholders will rue the drop in the share price, since it's now virtually flat for the year after a promising few quarters.

Since its price has dipped substantially, Gryphon Digital Mining may look like a strong buying opportunity at present with its price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.7x, considering almost half of all companies in the Software industry in the United States have P/S ratios greater than 5.7x and even P/S higher than 13x aren't out of the ordinary. However, the P/S might be quite low for a reason and it requires further investigation to determine if it's justified.

How Has Gryphon Digital Mining Performed Recently?

Gryphon Digital Mining has been doing a good job lately as it's been growing revenue at a solid pace. Perhaps the market is expecting this acceptable revenue performance to take a dive, which has kept the P/S suppressed. Those who are bullish on Gryphon Digital Mining will be hoping that this isn't the case, so that they can pick up the stock at a lower valuation.

How Is Gryphon Digital Mining's Revenue Growth Trending?

There's an inherent assumption that a company should far underperform the industry for P/S ratios like Gryphon Digital Mining's to be considered reasonable.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered a decent 14% gain to the company's revenues. The latest three year period has seen an incredible overall rise in revenue, even though the last 12 month performance was only fair. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.

Comparing that recent medium-term revenue trajectory with the industry's one-year growth forecast of 24% shows it's noticeably more attractive.

In light of this, it's peculiar that Gryphon Digital Mining's P/S sits below the majority of other companies. It looks like most investors are not convinced the company can maintain its recent growth rates.

The Key Takeaway

Having almost fallen off a cliff, Gryphon Digital Mining's share price has pulled its P/S way down as well. We'd say the price-to-sales ratio's power isn't primarily as a valuation instrument but rather to gauge current investor sentiment and future expectations.

We're very surprised to see Gryphon Digital Mining currently trading on a much lower than expected P/S since its recent three-year growth is higher than the wider industry forecast. When we see robust revenue growth that outpaces the industry, we presume that there are notable underlying risks to the company's future performance, which is exerting downward pressure on the P/S ratio. It appears many are indeed anticipating revenue instability, because the persistence of these recent medium-term conditions would normally provide a boost to the share price.
