Another View: Market Ratios Paint A Tougher Picture
That $27.29 fair value narrative leans on long term earnings potential, but the current price already embeds a rich revenue tag. Netskope trades on a P/S of 6.4x, compared with 3.7x for the US Software industry, 4.5x for peers and a fair ratio of 5.8x that the market could move toward over time. For you, that gap raises a simple question: is this a premium you are genuinely comfortable paying for a business that is still loss making?
