Investors Give BIT Mining Limited (NYSE:BTCM) Shares A 25% Hiding

Simply Wall St·02/25/2025 10:32:54
Listen to the news

BIT Mining Limited (NYSE:BTCM) shareholders that were waiting for something to happen have been dealt a blow with a 25% share price drop in the last month. Instead of being rewarded, shareholders who have already held through the last twelve months are now sitting on a 45% share price drop.

Since its price has dipped substantially, BIT Mining may be sending very bullish signals at the moment with its price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.6x, since almost half of all companies in the Software industry in the United States have P/S ratios greater than 5.6x and even P/S higher than 12x are not unusual. Nonetheless, we'd need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the highly reduced P/S.

What Does BIT Mining's Recent Performance Look Like?

BIT Mining could be doing better as its revenue has been going backwards lately while most other companies have been seeing positive revenue growth. Perhaps the P/S remains low as investors think the prospects of strong revenue growth aren't on the horizon. So while you could say the stock is cheap, investors will be looking for improvement before they see it as good value.

Keen to find out how analysts think BIT Mining's future stacks up against the industry? In that case, our free report is a great place to start.

How Is BIT Mining's Revenue Growth Trending?

In order to justify its P/S ratio, BIT Mining would need to produce anemic growth that's substantially trailing the industry.

Retrospectively, the last year delivered a frustrating 86% decrease to the company's top line. The last three years don't look nice either as the company has shrunk revenue by 91% in aggregate. Therefore, it's fair to say the revenue growth recently has been undesirable for the company.

Looking ahead now, revenue is anticipated to climb by 26% during the coming year according to the one analyst following the company. That's shaping up to be materially higher than the 18% growth forecast for the broader industry.

With this information, we find it odd that BIT Mining is trading at a P/S lower than the industry. It looks like most investors are not convinced at all that the company can achieve future growth expectations.

What Does BIT Mining's P/S Mean For Investors?

BIT Mining's P/S looks about as weak as its stock price lately. It's argued the price-to-sales ratio is an inferior measure of value within certain industries, but it can be a powerful business sentiment indicator.

To us, it seems BIT Mining currently trades on a significantly depressed P/S given its forecasted revenue growth is higher than the rest of its industry. The reason for this depressed P/S could potentially be found in the risks the market is pricing in. While the possibility of the share price plunging seems unlikely due to the high growth forecasted for the company, the market does appear to have some hesitation.
