Simply Wall St · 5d ago

You may think that with a price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1x Polenergia S.A. (WSE:PEP) is a stock worth checking out, seeing as almost half of all the Renewable Energy companies in Poland have P/S ratios greater than 2.4x and even P/S higher than 6x aren't out of the ordinary. Nonetheless, we'd need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the reduced P/S.

How Has Polenergia Performed Recently?

With revenue growth that's inferior to most other companies of late, Polenergia has been relatively sluggish. It seems that many are expecting the uninspiring revenue performance to persist, which has repressed the growth of the P/S ratio. If this is the case, then existing shareholders will probably struggle to get excited about the future direction of the share price.

How Is Polenergia's Revenue Growth Trending?

The only time you'd be truly comfortable seeing a P/S as low as Polenergia's is when the company's growth is on track to lag the industry.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered virtually the same number to the company's top line as the year before. The lack of growth did nothing to help the company's aggregate three-year performance, which is an unsavory 29% drop in revenue. Accordingly, shareholders would have felt downbeat about the medium-term rates of revenue growth.

Shifting to the future, estimates from the three analysts covering the company suggest revenue should grow by 13% per year over the next three years. With the industry only predicted to deliver 5.9% each year, the company is positioned for a stronger revenue result.

With this in consideration, we find it intriguing that Polenergia's P/S sits behind most of its industry peers. It looks like most investors are not convinced at all that the company can achieve future growth expectations.

What We Can Learn From Polenergia's P/S?

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.

To us, it seems Polenergia currently trades on a significantly depressed P/S given its forecasted revenue growth is higher than the rest of its industry. There could be some major risk factors that are placing downward pressure on the P/S ratio. It appears the market could be anticipating revenue instability, because these conditions should normally provide a boost to the share price.
