At a share price of CA$7.44, Kraken’s stock has seen some volatility, with the share price down 4.6% over the past day and 12.5% over 90 days, yet supported by a 1 year total shareholder return of 210% that points to strong longer term momentum.

With a 210% 1 year return, rapid revenue growth, fresh defence orders and a stock that sits below some analyst targets, the key question is whether Kraken is still mispriced or if the market already reflects its future growth.

Price-to-Sales of 21.2x: Is it justified?

On a P/S basis, Kraken appears expensive at 21.2x compared with its electronic industry peers, even though the stock is trading at CA$7.44.

The P/S ratio compares the company’s market value with its revenue. It is often used for high growth or unprofitable companies where earnings are not yet a helpful guide. For Kraken, it highlights how much investors are currently paying for each dollar of sales in a business that is still reporting a loss of CA$681,000 on CA$107.787 million of revenue.

Relative to the broader North American electronic industry average P/S of 3.3x, Kraken’s 21.2x suggests investors are paying a substantial premium for its marine technology exposure and forecast revenue profile. However, compared with the estimated fair P/S of 25.5x, the current multiple sits below the level the market could move towards if those expectations are met.

Result: Price-to-Sales of 21.2x (OVERVALUED)

However, the premium 21.2x P/S multiple and ongoing net loss of CA$681,000 mean that any slowdown in revenue growth or defence orders could quickly challenge this pricing story.

Another angle: what does the DCF say?

While the P/S ratio hints at a premium, the SWS DCF model points the other way, with an estimated future cash flow value of CA$6.89 versus the current CA$7.44 share price. That implies the stock is slightly overvalued on this measure, so which signal do you put more weight on?

Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.
