Fewer Investors Than Expected Jumping On The Glimpse Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRAR)

It's not a stretch to say that The Glimpse Group, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:VRAR) price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.9x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" for companies in the IT industry in the United States, where the median P/S ratio is around 2x. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/S.

How Is Glimpse Group's Revenue Growth Trending?

In order to justify its P/S ratio, Glimpse Group would need to produce growth that's similar to the industry.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered a decent 2.7% gain to the company's revenues. While this performance is only fair, the company was still able to deliver immense revenue growth over the last three years. So we can start by confirming that the company has done a tremendous job of growing revenue over that time.

Shifting to the future, estimates from the only analyst covering the company suggest revenue should grow by 18% over the next year. With the industry only predicted to deliver 11%, the company is positioned for a stronger revenue result.

With this in consideration, we find it intriguing that Glimpse Group's P/S is closely matching its industry peers. It may be that most investors aren't convinced the company can achieve future growth expectations.

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