Why We're Not Concerned Yet About Dometic Group AB (publ)'s (STO:DOM) 28% Share Price Plunge

Listen to the news

The Dometic Group AB (publ) (STO:DOM) share price has fared very poorly over the last month, falling by a substantial 28%. The recent drop completes a disastrous twelve months for shareholders, who are sitting on a 61% loss during that time.

Although its price has dipped substantially, it's still not a stretch to say that Dometic Group's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.5x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" compared to the Auto Components industry in Sweden, where the median P/S ratio is around 0.3x. While this might not raise any eyebrows, if the P/S ratio is not justified investors could be missing out on a potential opportunity or ignoring looming disappointment.

Is There Some Revenue Growth Forecasted For Dometic Group?

The only time you'd be comfortable seeing a P/S like Dometic Group's is when the company's growth is tracking the industry closely.

In reviewing the last year of financials, we were disheartened to see the company's revenues fell to the tune of 11%. This has soured the latest three-year period, which nevertheless managed to deliver a decent 14% overall rise in revenue. So we can start by confirming that the company has generally done a good job of growing revenue over that time, even though it had some hiccups along the way.

Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 2.0% per year during the coming three years according to the seven analysts following the company. With the industry predicted to deliver 3.8% growth each year, the company is positioned for a comparable revenue result.

In light of this, it's understandable that Dometic Group's P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. Apparently shareholders are comfortable to simply hold on while the company is keeping a low profile.

The Key Takeaway

With its share price dropping off a cliff, the P/S for Dometic Group looks to be in line with the rest of the Auto Components industry. While the price-to-sales ratio shouldn't be the defining factor in whether you buy a stock or not, it's quite a capable barometer of revenue expectations.

At this stage investors feel the potential for an improvement or deterioration in revenue isn't great enough to push P/S in a higher or lower direction.
