Another Angle On The Valuation

The fair value narrative suggests Sify Technologies looks 31.6% undervalued at $22, but the price tag tells a different story when you look at sales. Sify trades on a P/S of 2.3x, which is richer than both the US Telecom industry at 1.2x and its own fair ratio of 1.8x, so is this really a discount or just optimism priced in early?
