Meshek Energy Renewable Energies (TASE:MSKE) Joins FTSE All World Index As Valuation Questions Linger

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Meshek Energy - Renewable Energies (TASE:MSKE) has been added to the FTSE All-World Index (USD), a move that can put the stock on the radar of large index-tracking funds and new investors.

Recent trading has been choppy for Meshek Energy - Renewable Energies, with the share price down 2.91% over the last session and 5.81% over the past week. Despite this, the stock has still recorded a 30 day share price gain of 4.34% and a 17.67% year to date share price return.

That short term pullback comes against a much stronger background, with total shareholder return of 87.19% over one year and 168.82% over three years. As a result, the FTSE All-World Index inclusion may now be arriving as momentum cools slightly after a powerful multi year run.

Preferred Price-to-Sales Multiple of 46.6x: Is it justified?

Valuation for Meshek Energy - Renewable Energies currently leans on its P/S ratio, which sits at a steep 46.6x compared with both local peers and the wider Asian renewable group. That sits against a last close of ₪9.76 per share, so anyone buying in today is paying a rich tag for each shekel of reported revenue.

The price to sales multiple compares the company’s market value with its revenue, which can be a useful yardstick for loss making utilities and power producers. For Meshek Energy - Renewable Energies, this measure is especially relevant because the business is still reporting a net loss of ₪120.92m on revenue of ₪152.77m, so earnings based ratios are not yet meaningful.

With MSKE currently unprofitable and reporting a declining earnings profile over the past five years, a P/S of 46.6x suggests investors are paying a premium for future potential rather than current profitability. There is no fair ratio estimate available, so there is limited help from regression based models on where that multiple could settle over time.

The comparison with peers is stark. Management is up against a peer average P/S of 15.3x and an Asian renewable energy industry average of just 2.4x, which means Meshek Energy - Renewable Energies trades at a much higher revenue multiple than both its direct competitors and the broader sector.
