Conoil Plc: After hitting a 5 year high, is it still a Buy?

Conoil’s share price has experienced a remarkable surge, reaching a new 5-year high and surpassing the previous highest price of N34.25 per share recorded in the 2022 financial year.

Conoil’s stock valuation has seen a significant increase in 2023 compared to the previous year. The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, a valuation metric, has risen to 0.43, indicating that investors are willing to pay a higher premium for each unit of Conoil’s sales.

This indicates that investors are willing to pay a higher premium for each unit of Conoil’s sales compared to its valuation in the previous year and in comparison, to its peers such as Eterna and MRS Oil, which have P/S ratios of 0.20x and 0.24x, respectively.

The higher P/S ratio suggests that investors have confidence in Conoil’s growth potential or perceive the company to have a stronger competitive position within the industry. However, cautious investors may prefer to wait for a more favourable entry valuation.

Despite the higher P/S ratio, Conoil’s exposure to consistent earnings growth trends may still make it an attractive option for growth-focused investors.
