The recent drop completes a disastrous twelve months for shareholders, who are sitting on a 59% loss during that time.    Even after such a large drop in price, when almost half of the companies in Hong Kong's Luxury industry have price-to-sales ratios (or \"P/S\") below 0.6x, you may still consider Asia Television Holdings as a stock probably not worth researching with its 1.7x P/S ratio.   However, the P/S might be high for a reason and it requires further investigation to determine if it's justified.     View our latest analysis for Asia Television Holdings SEHK:707 Price to Sales Ratio vs Industry August 6th 2024 How Has Asia Television Holdings Performed Recently?  Asia Television Holdings certainly has been doing a great job lately as it's been growing its revenue at a really rapid pace.   Perhaps the market is expecting future revenue performance to outperform the wider market, which has seemingly got people interested in the stock.  You'd really hope so, otherwise you're paying a pretty hefty price for no particular reason.     We don't have analyst forecasts, but you can see how recent trends are setting up the company for the future by checking out our free report on Asia Television Holdings' earnings, revenue and cash flow.   How Is Asia Television Holdings' Revenue Growth Trending?   There's an inherent assumption that a company should outperform the industry for P/S ratios like Asia Television Holdings' to be considered reasonable.   Taking a look back first, we see that the company grew revenue by an impressive 37% last year.    Still, revenue has fallen 32% in total from three years ago, which is quite disappointing.  Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been undesirable for the company.     Weighing that medium-term revenue trajectory against the broader industry's one-year forecast for expansion of 13% shows it's an unpleasant look.  With this in mind, we find it worrying that Asia Television Holdings' P/S exceeds that of its industry peers.  Apparently many investors in the company are way more bullish than recent times would indicate and aren't willing to let go of their stock at any price.  Only the boldest would assume these prices are sustainable as a continuation of recent revenue trends is likely to weigh heavily on the share price eventually.    The Final Word  Asia Television Holdings' P/S remain high even after its stock plunged.      Using the price-to-sales ratio alone to determine if you should sell your stock isn't sensible, however it can be a practical guide to the company's future prospects.  Our examination of Asia Television Holdings revealed its shrinking revenue over the medium-term isn't resulting in a P/S as low as we expected, given the industry is set to grow.  When we see revenue heading backwards and underperforming the industry forecasts, we feel the possibility of the share price declining is very real, bringing the P/S back into the realm of reasonability.  Unless the recent medium-term conditions improve markedly, investors will have a hard time accepting the share price as fair value.
