Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)

Definition

The price-to-sales ratio compares a company's market cap to its revenue. It's useful for valuing unprofitable companies where PE ratio cannot be calculated.

Formula

P/S Ratio = Market Capitalisation / Annual Revenue

Example

A company with $10B market cap and $2B revenue has P/S of 5x. Growth companies often trade at P/S of 10-20x, while mature companies might be 1-3x.

Traps & Pitfalls

P/S ignores profitability entirely. A company with $1B revenue and $0 profit has the same P/S as one with $1B revenue and $200M profit. Always pair P/S with gross margin analysis.

Revenue quality matters. A SaaS company with 95% recurring revenue deserves a higher P/S than a consulting firm where revenue resets to zero each year.

P/S is most useful for unprofitable growth companies where PE can't be calculated. For profitable companies, PE and EV/EBITDA are more informative.
