Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV. Ltd. (NASDAQ:LYT) shares have had a horrible month, losing 29% after a relatively good period beforehand. For any long-term shareholders, the last month ends a year to forget by locking in a 91% share price decline.
After such a large drop in price, Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.2x might make it look like a buy right now compared to the Entertainment industry in the United States, where around half of the companies have P/S ratios above 1.3x and even P/S above 4x are quite common. Although, it's not wise to just take the P/S at face value as there may be an explanation why it's limited.

What Does Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV's P/S Mean For Shareholders?
Recent times have been quite advantageous for Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV as its revenue has been rising very briskly. One possibility is that the P/S ratio is low because investors think this strong revenue growth might actually underperform the broader industry in the near future. If that doesn't eventuate, then existing shareholders have reason to be quite optimistic about the future direction of the share price.

How Is Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV's Revenue Growth Trending?
The only time you'd be truly comfortable seeing a P/S as low as Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV's is when the company's growth is on track to lag the industry.
Retrospectively, the last year delivered an exceptional 94% gain to the company's top line. The strong recent performance means it was also able to grow revenue by 54% in total over the last three years. Accordingly, shareholders would have definitely welcomed those medium-term rates of revenue growth.
Comparing that to the industry, which is only predicted to deliver 11% growth in the next 12 months, the company's momentum is stronger based on recent medium-term annualised revenue results.
With this information, we find it odd that Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV is trading at a P/S lower than the industry. Apparently some shareholders believe the recent performance has exceeded its limits and have been accepting significantly lower selling prices.
The Final Word
The southerly movements of Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV's shares means its P/S is now sitting at a pretty low level. 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 examination of Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV revealed its three-year revenue trends aren't boosting its P/S anywhere near as much as we would have predicted, given they look better than current industry expectations. Potential investors that are sceptical over continued revenue performance may be preventing the P/S ratio from matching previous strong performance. While recent revenue trends over the past medium-term suggest that the risk of a price decline is low, investors appear to perceive a likelihood of revenue fluctuations in the future.
