Preferred Price-to-Sales Multiple of 1.7x: Is it justified?

On simple revenue terms, Takashimaya Company is trading on a P/S of 1.7x, which sits between signals from peers, fair value estimates and discounted cash flow analysis.

The P/S multiple compares the company’s market value with its annual revenue and is often used for retailers where earnings can be volatile or currently negative. This is the case for Takashimaya Company, which reported a loss of ¥4,108.0m on revenue of ¥407,321.0m.

Against other stocks with similar characteristics, Takashimaya Company’s P/S of 1.7x is flagged as good value versus a selected peer group average of 2.2x. However, it is described as expensive versus the broader JP Multiline Retail industry average of 0.7x and sits slightly above an estimated fair P/S of 1.6x that the market could eventually move closer to.

However, Takashimaya Company still faces risks, including its recent ¥4,108.0m loss and higher P/S versus the wider JP Multiline Retail industry, which could curb sentiment.

Another view on Takashimaya Company’s value

While the current 1.7x P/S ratio paints Takashimaya Company as slightly expensive versus its 1.6x fair ratio and the 0.7x industry average, our DCF model comes out even more cautious, with an estimate of future cash flow value of ¥702.95 per share against the ¥2,390 market price.

That gap points to a lot of optimism already in the share price. The real question for you is whether Takashimaya Company’s future cash flows can close that distance, or if expectations have run too far ahead of fundamentals.
