With a price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.4x Sudatel Telecom Group Limited (ADX:SUDATEL) may be sending bullish signals at the moment, given that almost half of all the Telecom companies in the United Arab Emirates have P/S ratios greater than 1.9x and even P/S higher than 4x are not unusual. However, the P/S might be low for a reason and it requires further investigation to determine if it's justified.

How Has Sudatel Telecom Group Performed Recently?

Revenue has risen firmly for Sudatel Telecom Group recently, which is pleasing to see. One possibility is that the P/S is low because investors think this respectable revenue growth might actually underperform the broader industry in the near future. Those who are bullish on Sudatel Telecom Group will be hoping that this isn't the case, so that they can pick up the stock at a lower valuation.

Although there are no analyst estimates available for Sudatel Telecom Group, take a look at this free data-rich visualisation to see how the company stacks up on earnings, revenue and cash flow.

Do Revenue Forecasts Match The Low P/S Ratio?

In order to justify its P/S ratio, Sudatel Telecom Group would need to produce sluggish growth that's trailing the industry.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a worthy increase of 12%. Revenue has also lifted 19% in aggregate from three years ago, partly thanks to the last 12 months of growth. So we can start by confirming that the company has actually done a good job of growing revenue over that time.

It's interesting to note that the rest of the industry is similarly expected to grow by 4.4% over the next year, which is fairly even with the company's recent medium-term annualised growth rates.

With this information, we find it odd that Sudatel Telecom Group is trading at a P/S lower than the industry. It may be that most investors are not convinced the company can maintain recent growth rates.

The Key Takeaway

Using the price-to-sales ratio alone to determine if you should sell your stock isn't sensible, however it can be a practical guide to the company's future prospects.

The fact that Sudatel Telecom Group currently trades at a low P/S relative to the industry is unexpected considering its recent three-year growth is in line with the wider industry forecast. There could be some unobserved threats to revenue preventing the P/S ratio from matching the company's performance. At least the risk of a price drop looks to be subdued if recent medium-term revenue trends continue, but investors seem to think future revenue could see some volatility.
