  • Orion OEC: 26% Rally Fails to Hide Revenue Decline; P/S at 0.2x vs Industry
    January 18, 2026, 9:25 AM EST. Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) has jumped 26% in the past month, yet shares remain down about 56% over the last year. The stock trades at a price-to-sales ratio of about 0.2x, well below the industry's roughly 1.1x median. Revenue has declined-4.3% in the last 12 months and 6.7% over three years-underpinning questions about growth. Five analysts project a 0.9% annual decline in revenue over the next three years, versus industry peers forecast to grow about 9.8% annually. The subdued top line explains the low P/S and cautions against extrapolating the rally. Investors will watch for any material revenue improvement that could support a higher multiple. Until then, the P/S may stay under pressure.
