Preferred Price-to-Sales Multiple of 23x: Is it justified?
Bullish trades on a P/S of 23x, which sits well above typical levels quoted for the US Capital Markets peer group and an estimated fair level for the company.
The P/S ratio compares the company’s market value to its revenue, so a higher multiple usually reflects higher expectations for future sales and profitability in relation to current revenue.
For Bullish, that 23x P/S is described as expensive versus three separate reference points: the US Capital Markets industry average of 3.2x, the peer average of 4.1x, and an estimated fair P/S of 4.5x. Each of those comparison anchors points to a large valuation gap the market could move towards if expectations change, in either direction.
