Another View: SailPoint Through The P/S Lens
On one hand, SailPoint screens as 7% below an estimated fair value of $21.58 based on future cash flows. On the other, the P/S ratio near 9.8x sits well above the US Software group at 4x and above an implied fair ratio of 6.4x, which points to valuation risk if sentiment cools.
That kind of premium can persist for a while when investors lean into a story, but it also shrinks quickly if expectations reset. The key question is how comfortable you are paying well ahead of both peers and the fair ratio when the business is still loss making.
