Some Getty Images Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:GETY) Shareholders Look For Exit As Shares Take 27% Pounding
Some Getty Images Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:GETY) Shareholders Look For Exit As Shares Take 27% Pounding
Getty Images Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:GETY) shares have had a horrible month, losing 27% after a relatively good period beforehand. Instead of being rewarded, shareholders who have already held through the last twelve months are now sitting on a 40% share price drop.
Even after such a large drop in price, it's still not a stretch to say that Getty Images Holdings' price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.7x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" compared to the Interactive Media and Services industry in the United States, where the median P/S ratio is around 1.5x. 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.
How Has Getty Images Holdings Performed Recently?
Getty Images Holdings hasn't been tracking well recently as its declining revenue compares poorly to other companies, which have seen some growth in their revenues on average. Perhaps the market is expecting its poor revenue performance to improve, keeping the P/S from dropping. You'd really hope so, otherwise you're paying a relatively elevated price for a company with this sort of growth profile.

There's an inherent assumption that a company should be matching the industry for P/S ratios like Getty Images Holdings' to be considered reasonable.
In reviewing the last year of financials, we were disheartened to see the company's revenues fell to the tune of 1.0%. That put a dampener on the good run it was having over the longer-term as its three-year revenue growth is still a noteworthy 12% in total. So we can start by confirming that the company has generally done a good job of growing revenue over that time, even though it had some hiccups along the way.
Shifting to the future, estimates from the seven analysts covering the company suggest revenue should grow by 3.2% per year over the next three years. That's shaping up to be materially lower than the 12% per year growth forecast for the broader industry.
With this information, we find it interesting that Getty Images Holdings is trading at a fairly similar P/S compared to the industry. It seems most investors are ignoring the fairly limited growth expectations and are willing to pay up for exposure to the stock. These shareholders may be setting themselves up for future disappointment if the P/S falls to levels more in line with the growth outlook.
The Final Word
Getty Images Holdings' plummeting stock price has brought its P/S back to a similar region as the rest of the industry. While the price-to-sales ratio shouldn't be the defining factor in whether you buy a stock or not, it's quite a capable barometer of revenue expectations.
Our look at the analysts forecasts of Getty Images Holdings' revenue prospects has shown that its inferior revenue outlook isn't negatively impacting its P/S as much as we would have predicted. At present, we aren't confident in the P/S as the predicted future revenues aren't likely to support a more positive sentiment for long. Circumstances like this present a risk to current and prospective investors who may see share prices fall if the low revenue growth impacts the sentiment.

蓋蒂圖片控股公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:GETY)的股價經歷了一個糟糕的月份,在經歷了相對不錯的時期之後下跌了27%。在過去十二個月中已經持股的股東沒有獲得回報,反而坐視股價下跌了40%。
即使在價格大幅下跌之後,與美國互動媒體和服務行業相比,Getty Images Holdings目前1.7倍的市銷率(或 “市盈率”)似乎相當 “處於中間位置”,該行業的市盈率中位數約爲1.5倍,仍然不費吹灰之力。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。
蓋蒂圖片控股公司最近的表現如何?
Getty Images Holdings最近表現不佳,其收入下降與其他公司相比表現不佳,後者的平均收入有所增長。也許市場預計其糟糕的收入表現將有所改善,從而防止市銷率下降。你真的希望如此,否則你會爲一傢俱有這種增長概況的公司付出相對較高的代價。
想全面了解分析師對公司的估計嗎?然後,我們關於Getty Images Holdings的免費報告將幫助您發現即將發生的事情。收入增長指標告訴我們有關市銷率的哪些信息?
人們固有的假設是,公司應該與行業相提並論,使像Getty Images Holdings這樣的市銷率被認爲是合理的。
在回顧去年的財務狀況時,我們沮喪地看到該公司的收入下降至1.0%。這抑制了其長期的良好表現,因爲其三年總收入增長仍爲12%,值得注意的是。因此,我們可以首先確認該公司在此期間在增加收入方面總體上做得很好,儘管在此過程中遇到了一些小問題。
展望未來,負責該公司的七位分析師的估計表明,未來三年收入每年將增長3.2%。這將大大低於整個行業每年12%的增長預期。
有了這些信息,我們發現有趣的是,Getty Images Holdings的市銷率與該行業相似。看來大多數投資者無視相當有限的增長預期,願意爲股票敞口付出代價。如果市銷率降至更符合增長前景的水平,這些股東可能會爲未來的失望做好準備。
最後一句話
Getty Images Holdings的股價暴跌使其市銷率回到了與該行業其他公司相似的水平。儘管市銷率不應該成爲決定你是否買入股票的決定性因素,但它是衡量收入預期的有力晴雨表。
我們對分析師對Getty Images Holdings收入前景的預測的研究表明,其較差的收入前景並沒有像我們預期的那樣對市銷售率產生負面影響。目前,我們對市銷率沒有信心,因爲預期的未來收入不太可能長期支撐更積極的情緒。像這樣的情況給當前和潛在的投資者帶來了風險,如果低收入增長影響市場情緒,他們可能會看到股價下跌。
