Pacific Radiance Ltd. (SGX:RXS) shareholders that were waiting for something to happen have been dealt a blow with a 26% share price drop in the last month. Instead of being rewarded, shareholders who have already held through the last twelve months are now sitting on a 15% share price drop.

Although its price has dipped substantially, there still wouldn't be many who think Pacific Radiance's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.9x is worth a mention when the median P/S in Singapore's Energy Services industry is similar at about 0.5x. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/S.

Is There Some Revenue Growth Forecasted For Pacific Radiance?

Pacific Radiance's P/S ratio would be typical for a company that's only expected to deliver moderate growth, and importantly, perform in line with the industry.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 40%. This great performance means it was also able to deliver immense revenue growth over the last three years. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been superb for the company.

Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 6.9% per annum during the coming three years according to the two analysts following the company. That's shaping up to be similar to the 7.5% each year growth forecast for the broader industry.

The Bottom Line On Pacific Radiance's P/S

Pacific Radiance's 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.

We've seen that Pacific Radiance maintains an adequate P/S seeing as its revenue growth figures match the rest of the industry. At this stage investors feel the potential for an improvement or deterioration in revenue isn't great enough to push P/S in a higher or lower direction. All things considered, if the P/S and revenue estimates contain no major shocks, then it's hard to see the share price moving strongly in either direction in the near future.
