BioInfra Co., Ltd.'s (KOSDAQ:199730) Share Price Is Matching Sentiment Around Its Revenues

Simply Wall St · 4d ago

With a price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.2x BioInfra Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:199730) may be sending very bullish signals at the moment, given that almost half of all the Life Sciences companies in Korea have P/S ratios greater than 3.2x and even P/S higher than 15x are not unusual. However, the P/S might be quite low for a reason and it requires further investigation to determine if it's justified.

How BioInfra Has Been Performing

As an illustration, revenue has deteriorated at BioInfra over the last year, which is not ideal at all. It might be that many expect the disappointing revenue performance to continue or accelerate, which has repressed the P/S. If you like the company, you'd be hoping this isn't the case so that you could potentially pick up some stock while it's out of favour.

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

There's an inherent assumption that a company should far underperform the industry for P/S ratios like BioInfra's to be considered reasonable.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered a frustrating 16% decrease to the company's top line. As a result, revenue from three years ago have also fallen 42% overall. Accordingly, shareholders would have felt downbeat about the medium-term rates of revenue growth.

Comparing that to the industry, which is predicted to deliver 15% growth in the next 12 months, the company's downward momentum based on recent medium-term revenue results is a sobering picture.

In light of this, it's understandable that BioInfra's P/S would sit below the majority of other companies. However, we think shrinking revenues are unlikely to lead to a stable P/S over the longer term, which could set up shareholders for future disappointment. There's potential for the P/S to fall to even lower levels if the company doesn't improve its top-line growth.

The Final Word

Typically, we'd caution against reading too much into price-to-sales ratios when settling on investment decisions, though it can reveal plenty about what other market participants think about the company.

As we suspected, our examination of BioInfra revealed its shrinking revenue over the medium-term is contributing to its low P/S, given the industry is set to grow. At this stage investors feel the potential for an improvement in revenue isn't great enough to justify a higher P/S ratio. Unless the recent medium-term conditions improve, they will continue to form a barrier for the share price around these levels.
