Despite an already strong run, Sotkamo Silver AB (NGM:SOSI) shares have been powering on, with a gain of 38% in the last thirty days. Looking back a bit further, it's encouraging to see the stock is up 46% in the last year.

Although its price has surged higher, there still wouldn't be many who think Sotkamo Silver's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.3x is worth a mention when the median P/S in Sweden's Metals and Mining industry is similar at about 1.4x. 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 Sotkamo Silver Has Been Performing

Sotkamo Silver could be doing better as its revenue has been going backwards lately while most other companies have been seeing positive revenue growth. One possibility is that the P/S ratio is moderate because investors think this poor revenue performance will turn around. If not, then existing shareholders may be a little nervous about the viability of the share price.

Do Revenue Forecasts Match The P/S Ratio?

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

Retrospectively, the last year delivered a frustrating 12% decrease to the company's top line. This means it has also seen a slide in revenue over the longer-term as revenue is down 2.0% in total over the last three years. Accordingly, shareholders would have felt downbeat about the medium-term rates of revenue growth.

Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 45% during the coming year according to the sole analyst following the company. With the industry only predicted to deliver 9.1%, the company is positioned for a stronger revenue result.

With this in consideration, we find it intriguing that Sotkamo Silver's P/S is closely matching its industry peers. It may be that most investors aren't convinced the company can achieve future growth expectations.

The Key Takeaway
