    Price-to-Sales of 0.1x: Is It Justified for Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings?

    On a simple yardstick, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings looks inexpensive, with the stock trading at a P/S of roughly 0.1x, compared with higher ratios across both peers and the broader Asian Electric Utilities industry.

    The P/S multiple compares the company’s market value to its revenue. This can be useful when earnings are negative, as is currently the case for Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, which reported a net loss of ¥454,263m on revenue of ¥6,328,574m. For a large, regulated utility group with several business segments and ongoing Fukushima related obligations, investors often look at sales based metrics when profits are still being rebuilt.

    Here, the story is that Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings is priced at a deep discount to the 0.4x peer average and the 1.2x Asian Electric Utilities industry average. It also trades below an estimated fair P/S ratio of 0.4x that the market could move towards if sentiment or earnings expectations improve. That kind of gap can reflect concerns around debt coverage by operating cash flow, current losses and below market revenue growth forecasts. It also underlines how cautiously the market is valuing each yen of sales today.
