Market Might Still Lack Some Conviction On Oceanus Group Limited (SGX:579) Even After 29% Share Price Boost
Market Might Still Lack Some Conviction On Oceanus Group Limited (SGX:579) Even After 29% Share Price Boost
Oceanus Group Limited (SGX:579) shareholders would be excited to see that the share price has had a great month, posting a 29% gain and recovering from prior weakness. Not all shareholders will be feeling jubilant, since the share price is still down a very disappointing 25% in the last twelve months.
In spite of the firm bounce in price, it's still not a stretch to say that Oceanus Group's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.7x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" compared to the Food industry in Singapore, seeing as it matches the P/S ratio of the wider industry. Although, it's not wise to simply ignore the P/S without explanation as investors may be disregarding a distinct opportunity or a costly mistake.
What Does Oceanus Group's P/S Mean For Shareholders?
Oceanus Group certainly has been doing a great job lately as it's been growing its revenue at a really rapid pace. Perhaps the market is expecting future revenue performance to taper off, which has kept the P/S from rising. Those who are bullish on Oceanus Group will be hoping that this isn't the case, so that they can pick up the stock at a lower valuation.
Want the full picture on earnings, revenue and cash flow for the company? Then our free report on Oceanus Group will help you shine a light on its historical performance.How Is Oceanus Group's Revenue Growth Trending?
In order to justify its P/S ratio, Oceanus Group would need to produce growth that's similar to the industry.
If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 48%. The strong recent performance means it was also able to grow revenue by 276% in total over the last three years. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.
Comparing that recent medium-term revenue trajectory with the industry's one-year growth forecast of 5.3% shows it's noticeably more attractive.
With this information, we find it interesting that Oceanus Group is trading at a fairly similar P/S compared to the industry. It may be that most investors are not convinced the company can maintain its recent growth rates.
What We Can Learn From Oceanus Group's P/S?
Oceanus Group's stock has a lot of momentum behind it lately, which has brought its P/S level with the rest of the industry. Generally, our preference is to limit the use of the price-to-sales ratio to establishing what the market thinks about the overall health of a company.
We didn't quite envision Oceanus Group's P/S sitting in line with the wider industry, considering the revenue growth over the last three-year is higher than the current industry outlook. When we see strong revenue with faster-than-industry growth, we can only assume potential risks are what might be placing pressure on the P/S ratio. It appears some are indeed anticipating revenue instability, because the persistence of these recent medium-term conditions would normally provide a boost to the share price.

Oceanus Group Limited(新加坡證券交易所股票代碼:579)股東會很高興看到股價表現良好,漲幅爲29%,並從先前的疲軟中恢復過來。並非所有股東都會感到歡欣鼓舞,因爲股價在過去十二個月中仍然下跌了令人失望的25%。
儘管價格穩步反彈,但可以毫不誇張地說,與新加坡食品行業相比,Oceanus集團目前0.7倍的市銷率(或 “市銷率”)似乎相當 “中間路線”,因爲它與整個行業的市銷率相當。但是,不加解釋地忽略市銷率是不明智的,因爲投資者可能會忽視一個明顯的機會或一個代價高昂的錯誤。
Oceanus集團的市銷率對股東意味着什麼?
Oceanus Group最近確實做得很好,因爲它的收入增長非常快。也許市場預計未來的收入表現將逐漸減弱,這阻礙了市銷率的上升。那些看好Oceanus集團的人希望情況並非如此,這樣他們就可以以較低的估值買入該股。
想全面了解公司的收益、收入和現金流嗎?然後,我們關於Oceanus集團的免費報告將幫助您了解其歷史表現。Oceanus 集團的收入增長趨勢如何?
爲了證明其市銷率是合理的,Oceanus集團需要實現與該行業相似的增長。
如果我們回顧一下去年的收入增長,該公司公佈了48%的驚人增長。最近的強勁表現意味着它在過去三年中總收入增長了276%。因此,可以公平地說,該公司最近的收入增長非常好。
將最近的中期收入軌跡與該行業5.3%的年度增長預測進行比較,可以看出該行業明顯更具吸引力。
有了這些信息,我們發現有趣的是,與行業相比,Oceanus集團的交易市銷率相當相似。可能是大多數投資者不相信該公司能夠維持其最近的增長率。
我們可以從Oceanus集團的市銷率中學到什麼?
Oceanus集團的股票最近勢頭強勁,這使其市銷率與業內其他公司相比有所上升。通常,我們傾向於限制使用市銷率來確定市場對公司整體健康狀況的看法。
考慮到過去三年的收入增長高於當前的行業前景,我們並不完全設想Oceanus集團的市銷率會與整個行業保持一致。當我們看到強勁的收入和比行業更快的增長速度時,我們只能假設潛在風險可能會給市銷率帶來壓力。看來有些人確實在預測收入不穩定,因爲近期這些中期狀況的持續下去通常會提振股價。
在採取下一步行動之前,您應該了解我們發現的Oceanus集團的兩個警告信號。
