Another way to look at valuation

Analysts see upside to $12.67, yet on a simple sales basis United States Antimony looks expensive. The stock trades on a P/S ratio of 32.5x versus a fair ratio of 5.9x, the US Metals and Mining industry at 2.6x, and peers at 7.7x, which points to meaningful valuation risk if expectations cool.

That kind of gap can sometimes close through stronger fundamentals or through a lower share price, so it is worth asking which path you think is more realistic for your own thesis.
