The First Shanghai Investments Limited (HKG:227) share price has softened a substantial 27% over the previous 30 days, handing back much of the gains the stock has made lately. Looking at the bigger picture, even after this poor month the stock is up 83% in the last year.
After such a large drop in price, First Shanghai Investments’ price-to-sales (or “P/S”) ratio of 1.4x might make it look like a buy right now compared to the Capital Markets industry in Hong Kong, where around half of the companies have P/S ratios above 2.8x and even P/S above 8x 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.
