    At a latest share price of ₪4.11, Shikun & Binui Energy has combined a 7.31% year to date share price return with a 66.26% total shareholder return over the past year, which suggests recent momentum has been strong as investors reassess both growth potential and risk after the latest earnings update.

    Shikun & Binui Energy is growing its top line while still reporting sizeable losses, and the share price has risen significantly over the past year. The key issue now is whether that combination is already fully priced in.

    Preferred price to sales multiple of 11x, is it justified for Shikun & Binui Energy?

    On a P/S basis, Shikun & Binui Energy trades at 11x sales, while the broader IL Construction industry and a defined peer group are both at about 1.1x. That is a large premium for a company that is still reporting losses.

    The price to sales ratio compares the company’s market value with its revenue. It is often used when earnings are negative, since P/E cannot be applied, and it gives investors a quick way to see how much they are paying for each ₪1 of sales.

    Here, the 11x P/S multiple is paired with a reported net loss of ₪268.84m on revenue of ₪367.29m and a negative return on equity of 14.11%. That combination suggests the market is willing to pay far more per unit of revenue for Shikun & Binui Energy than for the average construction stock, despite the company being unprofitable and earnings having declined by 49.6% per year over the past five years.

    Compared to both the IL Construction industry average of 1.1x P/S and the same 1.1x peer group level, the stock’s 11x multiple is sharply higher. That means investors are currently assigning a much richer valuation to Shikun & Binui Energy than to similar companies based on revenue alone.
