Spin Master (TSX:TOY) Stock May Be A Bargain On Sales

Spin Master has delivered a mixed ride for shareholders, with the stock at C$20.65 and a long term chart that includes some steep declines alongside more recent gains. The question now is whether that current share price lines up with what the company generates in sales.

• Over the past 5 years the share price has fallen 47.6%, which puts a lot of weight on whether the market is now paying an appropriate price for the company’s revenue base.
• The business depends on turning its toy and entertainment brands into consistent cash inflows, which can affect how much value investors are willing to place on each dollar of sales.
• The analysts covering Spin Master have run their own numbers. See what analysts think Spin Master's shares could be worth.

The issue now is whether Spin Master’s current share price is justified by its sales when measured against the Fair Ratio benchmark.

Is Spin Master Still Cheap on Sales?

P/S is a useful lens for Spin Master because toys and entertainment rely heavily on branded sales rather than short term earnings swings. On this measure, the stock trades on a P/S of about 0.7x, which is below both the Leisure industry average of roughly 1.0x and the peer group near 1.9x.

The tailored Fair Ratio, which blends Spin Master’s sector, size, margins and risk profile into one benchmark, comes in higher than the current P/S level. That points to the shares screening as undervalued on sales relative to what this model would expect, with the market putting a smaller tag on each dollar of revenue than either the industry or peer pack. Investors who focus on top line driven businesses may want to explore why the market is applying this discount and whether they agree with it. Explore the numbers behind Spin Master's P/S valuation.
