Market Cool On Asante Gold Corporation's (CVE:ASE) Revenues Pushing Shares 28% Lower

Simply Wall St · 01/04 12:52

Unfortunately for some shareholders, the Asante Gold Corporation (CVE:ASE) share price has dived 28% in the last thirty days, prolonging recent pain. Still, a bad month hasn't completely ruined the past year with the stock gaining 61%, which is great even in a bull market.

After such a large drop in price, Asante Gold may be sending very bullish signals at the moment with its price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.9x, since almost half of all companies in the Metals and Mining industry in Canada have P/S ratios greater than 7.3x and even P/S higher than 47x are not unusual. Nonetheless, we'd need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the highly reduced P/S.

How Asante Gold Has Been Performing

The recent revenue growth at Asante Gold would have to be considered satisfactory if not spectacular. One possibility is that the P/S ratio is low because investors think this good revenue growth might actually underperform the broader industry in the near future. Those who are bullish on Asante Gold will be hoping that this isn't the case, so that they can pick up the stock at a lower valuation.

What Are Revenue Growth Metrics Telling Us About The Low P/S?

In order to justify its P/S ratio, Asante Gold would need to produce anemic growth that's substantially trailing the industry.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered a decent 4.8% gain to the company's revenues. Spectacularly, three year revenue growth has ballooned by several orders of magnitude, even though the last 12 months were fairly tame in comparison. So we can start by confirming that the company has done a tremendous job of growing revenue over that time.

Comparing that recent medium-term revenue trajectory with the industry's one-year growth forecast of 55% shows it's noticeably more attractive.

In light of this, it's peculiar that Asante Gold's P/S sits below the majority of other companies. It looks like most investors are not convinced the company can maintain its recent growth rates.

What We Can Learn From Asante Gold's P/S?

Asante Gold's P/S looks about as weak as its stock price lately. We'd say the price-to-sales ratio's power isn't primarily as a valuation instrument but rather to gauge current investor sentiment and future expectations.

We're very surprised to see Asante Gold currently trading on a much lower than expected P/S since its recent three-year growth is higher than the wider industry forecast. When we see robust revenue growth that outpaces the industry, we presume that there are notable underlying risks to the company's future performance, which is exerting downward pressure on the P/S ratio. While recent revenue trends over the past medium-term suggest that the risk of a price decline is low, investors appear to perceive a likelihood of revenue fluctuations in the future.
