The Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BAER) share price has fared very poorly over the last month, falling by a substantial 28%. The recent drop completes a disastrous twelve months for shareholders, who are sitting on a 61% loss during that time.

Although its price has dipped substantially, you could still be forgiven for feeling indifferent about Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings' P/S ratio of 1.2x, since the median price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio for the Commercial Services industry in the United States is about the same. While this might not raise any eyebrows, if the P/S ratio is not justified investors could be missing out on a potential opportunity or ignoring looming disappointment.

How Is Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings' Revenue Growth Trending?

In order to justify its P/S ratio, Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings would need to produce growth that's similar to the industry.

If we review the last year of revenue growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 26%. The strong recent performance means it was also able to grow revenue by 114% in total over the last three years. So we can start by confirming that the company has done a great job of growing revenue over that time.

Turning to the outlook, the next year should generate growth of 40% as estimated by the sole analyst watching the company. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is forecast to only expand by 8.1%, which is noticeably less attractive.

In light of this, it's curious that Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings' P/S sits in line with the majority of other companies. It may be that most investors aren't convinced the company can achieve future growth expectations.

What Does Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings' P/S Mean For Investors?

Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings' plummeting stock price has brought its P/S back to a similar region as the rest of the industry. Using the price-to-sales ratio alone to determine if you should sell your stock isn't sensible, however it can be a practical guide to the company's future prospects.

We've established that Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings currently trades on a lower than expected P/S since its forecasted revenue growth is higher than the wider industry. There could be some risks that the market is pricing in, which is preventing the P/S ratio from matching the positive outlook.
