A Piece Of The Puzzle Missing From Armlogi Holding Corp.'s (NASDAQ:BTOC) 57% Share Price Climb

Armlogi Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:BTOC) shares have continued their recent momentum with a 57% gain in the last month alone. But the last month did very little to improve the 65% share price decline over the last year.

Even after such a large jump in price, Armlogi Holding may still be sending buy signals at present with its price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.4x, considering almost half of all companies in the Transportation industry in the United States have P/S ratios greater than 1.2x and even P/S higher than 4x aren't out of the ordinary. Nonetheless, we'd need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the reduced P/S.
