Saga plc's shares have surged 26% in the last month and 110% over the past year. Despite this, the company's price-to-sales ratio of 0.5x is significantly lower than the industry average of 1.4x, indicating potential concerns about future revenue growth. Analysts forecast a modest 4.8% annual growth for Saga over the next three years, below the industry average of 12%. This limited growth outlook contributes to the low P/S ratio and shareholder pessimism regarding the company's future performance.
