Those product showcases come after a sharp share price move, with a 30-day share price return of 37.81% and a 90-day share price return of 167.25%. The 1-year total shareholder return is very large, indicating strong momentum rather than a short-lived swing.

After such a strong share price run and eye catching headline returns over 1 year and beyond, the real question is whether Yangtze Optical Fibre And Cable is still trading below its fundamentals or if the market is already pricing in future growth.

Preferred Multiple of 8.1x P/S: Is It Justified?

The SWS checks flag Yangtze Optical Fibre And Cable as expensive, with a P/S ratio of 8.1x sitting against a last close of HK$153.8 and a strong recent share price run.

P/S looks at how much investors are currently paying for each unit of revenue. This can matter a lot for a company focused on optical fibre, cabling and connectivity solutions where top line growth is a key part of the story.

Here, the gap is wide. The current 8.1x P/S is well above both the Hong Kong Communications industry average of 1.1x and the peer average of 3.6x. It is also above the SWS estimated fair P/S ratio of 2.5x, a level the market could move towards if enthusiasm cools.

Result: Price-to-Sales of 8.1x (OVERVALUED)

However, there are clear risks here, including a P/S far above sector averages, and any slowdown in revenue growth of 17.73% or net income growth of 52.17%.

Another View: Our DCF Model Points Even Higher
