Revenues Not Telling The Story For Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology Corp. (SHSE:688685) After Shares Rise 29%

株式会社江蘇麦新林航空科技の収益は物語を語っていない(SHSE:688685)-株価は29%上昇後

Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology Corp. (SHSE:688685) shares have continued their recent momentum with a 29% gain in the last month alone. Looking further back, the 18% rise over the last twelve months isn't too bad notwithstanding the strength over the last 30 days.

In spite of the firm bounce in price, you could still be forgiven for feeling indifferent about Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology's P/S ratio of 9.6x, since the median price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio for the Aerospace & Defense industry in China is also close to 8x. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/S.

How Has Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology Performed Recently?

For example, consider that Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology's financial performance has been pretty ordinary lately as revenue growth is non-existent. It might be that many expect the uninspiring revenue performance to only match most other companies at best over the coming period, which has kept the P/S from rising. Those who are bullish on Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology will be hoping that this isn't the case, so that they can pick up the stock at a lower valuation.

How Is Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology's Revenue Growth Trending?

The only time you'd be comfortable seeing a P/S like Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology's is when the company's growth is tracking the industry closely.

If we review the last year of revenue, the company posted a result that saw barely any deviation from a year ago. Regardless, revenue has managed to lift by a handy 13% in aggregate from three years ago, thanks to the earlier period of growth. Accordingly, shareholders probably wouldn't have been overly satisfied with the unstable medium-term growth rates.

This is in contrast to the rest of the industry, which is expected to grow by 47% over the next year, materially higher than the company's recent medium-term annualised growth rates.

In light of this, it's curious that Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology's P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. Apparently many investors in the company are less bearish than recent times would indicate and aren't willing to let go of their stock right now. They may be setting themselves up for future disappointment if the P/S falls to levels more in line with recent growth rates.

The Bottom Line On Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology's P/S

Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology's stock has a lot of momentum behind it lately, which has brought its P/S level with the rest of the industry. It's argued the price-to-sales ratio is an inferior measure of value within certain industries, but it can be a powerful business sentiment indicator.

We've established that Jiangsu Maixinlin Aviation Science and Technology's average P/S is a bit surprising since its recent three-year growth is lower than the wider industry forecast. Right now we are uncomfortable with the P/S as this revenue performance isn't likely to support a more positive sentiment for long. Unless the recent medium-term conditions improve, it's hard to accept the current share price as fair value.
