The Surani Steel Tubes Limited (NSE:SURANI) share price has fared very poorly over the last month, falling by a substantial 26%. The drop over the last 30 days has capped off a tough year for shareholders, with the share price down 34% in that time.
Even after such a large drop in price, it's still not a stretch to say that Surani Steel Tubes' price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.1x right now seems quite "middle-of-the-road" compared to the Metals and Mining industry in India, where the median P/S ratio is around 1.3x. Although, it's not wise to simply ignore the P/S without explanation as investors may be disregarding a distinct opportunity or a costly mistake.
