Another View on Tripadvisor’s valuation

While the bearish narrative pegs Tripadvisor’s fair value at $9.00 and calls the stock overvalued, the preferred price to sales lens is far more generous. Tripadvisor trades on a P/S of 0.6x compared with a fair ratio of 0.9x, the peer average of 0.7x and the wider US Interactive Media and Services industry at 0.9x. That gap points to a discount rather than a premium. Which story do you think better reflects the risks and potential here?
