Another View: Target Hospitality Through The P/S Lens
The first fair value story presents Target Hospitality as heavily discounted, yet the simple sales multiple offers a different perspective. The stock trades on a P/S of 3.1x compared with 1.5x for the US Hospitality group and 1.1x for peers, while the fair ratio sits at 3.2x. That gap suggests investors already pay a premium to the sector, even if it roughly aligns with the fair ratio. This raises the question of how comfortable investors are anchoring on a relatively high sales multiple for a business that is still loss making.
