    The Market Lifts SANGBO Corp. (KOSDAQ:027580) Shares 26% But It Can Do More

    Listen to the news

    SANGBO Corp. (KOSDAQ:027580) shareholders would be excited to see that the share price has had a great month, posting a 26% gain and recovering from prior weakness. Not all shareholders will be feeling jubilant, since the share price is still down a very disappointing 27% in the last twelve months.

    Although its price has surged higher, there still wouldn't be many who think SANGBO's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.1x is worth a mention when the median P/S in Korea's Chemicals industry is similar at about 0.8x. 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.

    How SANGBO Has Been Performing

    As an illustration, revenue has deteriorated at SANGBO over the last year, which is not ideal at all. It might be that many expect the company to put the disappointing revenue performance behind them over the coming period, which has kept the P/S from falling. If you like the company, you'd at least be hoping this is the case so that you could potentially pick up some stock while it's not quite in favour.

    What Are Revenue Growth Metrics Telling Us About The P/S?

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

    Taking a look back first, the company's revenue growth last year wasn't something to get excited about as it posted a disappointing decline of 13%. Even so, admirably revenue has lifted 96% in aggregate from three years ago, notwithstanding the last 12 months. So we can start by confirming that the company has generally done a very good job of growing revenue over that time, even though it had some hiccups along the way.

    Comparing that to the industry, which is only predicted to deliver 14% growth in the next 12 months, the company's momentum is stronger based on recent medium-term annualised revenue results.

    With this information, we find it interesting that SANGBO is trading at a fairly similar P/S compared to the industry. It may be that most investors are not convinced the company can maintain its recent growth rates.

    The Key Takeaway

    Its shares have lifted substantially and now SANGBO's P/S is back within range of the industry median. Typically, we'd caution against reading too much into price-to-sales ratios when settling on investment decisions, though it can reveal plenty about what other market participants think about the company.

    We've established that SANGBO currently trades on a lower than expected P/S since its recent three-year growth is higher than the wider industry forecast. There could be some unobserved threats to revenue preventing the P/S ratio from matching this positive performance. At least the risk of a price drop looks to be subdued if recent medium-term revenue trends continue, but investors seem to think future revenue could see some volatility.

    We don't want to rain on the parade too much, but we did also find 3 warning signs for SANGBO (1 is concerning!) that you need to be mindful of.
