Doral Group Renewable Energy Resources (TASE:DORL) drew investor attention after its recent trading session, with the share price closing at ₪53.6 as short term performance diverged sharply from longer term returns.

Preferred Price-to-Sales Multiple of 18.8x: Is it justified?
Doral Group Renewable Energy Resources last closed at ₪53.6, and the valuation conversation quickly runs into its P/S ratio of 18.8x, which is high for an unprofitable utility player.
The price to sales multiple compares the total market value investors place on the equity to the revenue the business reports. For a group focused on renewable generation and infrastructure projects, where earnings are currently loss making and cash flows are often back weighted, this kind of sales based yardstick is one of the few clean signals available.
That 18.8x P/S metric carries two different readings depending on the reference point. Relative to the Asian Renewable Energy industry average of 2.3x, the stock changes hands at a much richer level, which implies the market is paying a substantial premium compared to the broader regional peer group. Compared to a closer peer set on 23.1x, the same ratio looks cheaper, which points to investors assigning a lower revenue multiple than similar companies even as Doral Group Renewable Energy Resources remains unprofitable and reports annual losses of ₪230.598m on revenue of ₪613.422m.
Put simply, the share price embeds a premium against the wider industry but a discount against direct peers using the same preferred multiple, leaving valuation sitting between stretched and reasonable depending on which comparison an investor prioritises.

Result: Price-to-Sales of 18.8x (ABOUT RIGHT)
Still, the loss of ₪230.598m on ₪613.422m in revenue and a value score of 1 could quickly challenge any premium story around Doral Group Renewable Energy Resources.
