Is There Some Revenue Growth Forecasted For LuxExperience B.V?

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

Taking a look back first, we see that the company grew revenue by an impressive 91% last year. The strong recent performance means it was also able to grow revenue by 131% in total over the last three years. So we can start by confirming that the company has done a great job of growing revenue over that time.

Turning to the outlook, the next year should generate growth of 58% as estimated by the four analysts watching the company. That's shaping up to be materially higher than the 8.0% growth forecast for the broader industry.

What Does LuxExperience B.V's P/S Mean For Investors?

Generally, our preference is to limit the use of the price-to-sales ratio to establishing what the market thinks about the overall health of a company.

We've established that LuxExperience B.V currently trades on a lower than expected P/S since its forecasted revenue growth is higher than the wider industry. Perhaps uncertainty in the revenue forecasts are what's keeping the P/S ratio consistent with the rest of the industry. However, if you agree with the analysts' forecasts, you may be able to pick up the stock at an attractive price.
