After such a large drop in price, Digital Ally's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.2x might make it look like a buy right now compared to the Electronic industry in the United States, where around half of the companies have P/S ratios above 1.6x and even P/S above 5x 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.

How Digital Ally Has Been Performing
数字盟友的表现如何
While the industry has experienced revenue growth lately, Digital Ally's revenue has gone into reverse gear, which is not great. The P/S ratio is probably low because investors think this poor revenue performance isn't going to get any better. If this is the case, then existing shareholders will probably struggle to get excited about the future direction of the share price.
尽管该行业最近经历了收入增长,但Digital Ally的收入却陷入了逆转,这并不好。市盈率可能很低,因为投资者认为这种糟糕的收入表现不会好转。如果是这样的话,那么现有股东可能很难对股价的未来走势感到兴奋。
What Are Revenue Growth Metrics Telling Us About The Low P/S?
关于低市盈率,收入增长指标告诉我们什么?
Digital Ally's P/S ratio would be typical for a company that's only expected to deliver limited growth, and importantly, perform worse than the industry.
对于一家预计增长有限且重要的是表现低于该行业的公司来说,Digital Ally的市盈率将是典型的。
Retrospectively, the last year delivered a frustrating 7.5% decrease to the company's top line. However, a few very strong years before that means that it was still able to grow revenue by an impressive 251% in total over the last three years. Although it's been a bumpy ride, it's still fair to say the revenue growth recently has been more than adequate for the company.
回顾过去,该公司的收入下降了7.5%,令人沮丧。但是,在此之前的几年非常强劲,这意味着在过去三年中,它仍然能够将总收入增长251%,令人印象深刻。尽管这是一段坎坷的旅程,但可以公平地说,最近的收入增长对公司来说已经足够了。
Shifting to the future, estimates from the sole analyst covering the company suggest revenue should grow by 7.2% over the next year. That's shaping up to be similar to the 7.7% growth forecast for the broader industry.
展望未来,负责该公司的唯一分析师的估计表明,明年收入将增长7.2%。这与整个行业7.7%的增长预测相似。
With this in consideration, we find it intriguing that Digital Ally's P/S is lagging behind its industry peers. Apparently some shareholders are doubtful of the forecasts and have been accepting lower selling prices.
考虑到这一点,我们发现Digital Ally的市盈率落后于业内同行,这很有趣。显然,一些股东对预测持怀疑态度,并一直在接受较低的销售价格。
