Galaxy Digital (GLXY) Stock May Be Cheap As Sales Stay In Focus

Galaxy Digital has packed a very large 3 year return into a stock that has swung around sharply over shorter periods, which naturally puts the focus on whether its current price is still grounded in the sales the business is producing. For anyone looking at the recent chart and wondering what sits behind it, the key issue is how much revenue the market is choosing to pay for today.

• Over the past 3 years, Galaxy Digital has delivered a very large share price gain, so a lot of past optimism is already reflected in the story that buyers are paying for.
• The group’s model is closely tied to activity and asset values in digital finance, which can feed through to volatile top line performance and makes the price investors pay for each dollar of sales especially important.
• Your read on Galaxy Digital is one view; the desks covering it have another. See what analysts think Galaxy Digital's shares could be worth.

The issue now is whether Galaxy Digital’s current share price, including the recent 7 day move and mixed returns over the past year, is appropriately supported by the level of sales the business is generating.

Is Galaxy Digital a Bargain on Sales?

P/S fits Galaxy Digital well because revenue tends to swing with digital asset activity, so the price tagged onto each dollar of sales matters. On that score, the stock trades on a P/S of 0.1x, compared with about 3.6x for the wider Capital Markets industry and roughly 2.4x across closer peers. That is a very low revenue multiple for a listed financial group exposed to crypto and blockchain related activity.

The fair multiple implied by the tailored model that weighs Galaxy Digital’s scale, margins, sector and risk profile sits well above the current 0.1x P/S. That gap suggests the market is pricing a lot of caution into the shares relative to what those fundamentals might support, so any view on the stock depends on whether you think that heavy discount to the model is justified by the business risks or overdone.
