Toast Is Way Above Its All-Time Low
Since the beginning of 2022, Toast stock has traded in a relatively narrow range between $12 and $25. The days of its all-time highs around $60 are far behind it.
And, despite the tremendous decline that TOST stock suffered in the wake of the firm’s Q4 earnings report, it’s still far above its all-time low of $12.88, set last June. So the investors who bought the stock at its lows and sold it just before the earnings came out doubled their money in eight months
The best is yet to come for the investors who are still holding onto the shares. Those who haven’t yet bitten into this appetizing stock are getting a better deal today than they would have gotten a week ago.
TOST trades at just 3.8 times its 2022 sales and at 2.9 times its 2023 sales guidance of $3.62 billion. When Toast went public in September 2021, investors were willing to pay nearly 12 times its estimated annual sales for the stock.
So, in 18 months, its price/sales multiple has fallen by 68%, while its sales have increased by 60%. And its adjusted EBITDA margin has stayed relatively stable, moving slightly higher from -2.5% in 2021 to 4.2% in 2022.
Covid-19 almost killed Toast. It persevered, and its business has strengthened as a result. Aggressive investors ought to consider taking a bullish position in TOST stock.
