Has Redcare Pharmacy Run Too Far on Sales?
P/S fits Redcare Pharmacy because revenue is the clearest anchor while the business is still loss making on free cash flow.
On this lens, Redcare Pharmacy trades on a P/S of about 0.5x, compared with roughly 0.4x for the wider Consumer Retailing group and about 0.6x for closer peers. A fair multiple that adjusts for the company's growth prospects, margin profile, size and risk points to a lower P/S than the one the market is currently paying, which tilts this metric toward overvalued on this framework. Because Peter Schmid von Linstow has just been brought in as CEO with a background in large digital platforms, the current premium to that tailored benchmark looks more like a bet on future execution than a reflection of what the existing revenue base alone supports.
