Advanced Battery Technologies (OTCPK:ABAT) PS Ratio Explanation
The PS Ratio is an excellent valuation indicator if you want to compare a stock with its historical valuation or with the stocks in the same industry. The PS Ratio works especially well when you want to compare the stock's current valuation with its historical valuation. The PS Ratio is a great valuation tool for evaluating cyclical businesses where the PE Ratio works poorly. It works the best when comparing the current valuation with the historical valuation because over time, a company's profit margin tends to revert to the mean.
When the PS Ratio is applied to the whole stock market, it can be used to evaluate the current market valuation and projected returns. In this case, the price is the total market cap of all stocks that are traded, and sales are the GDP of the country. This is how Warren Buffett estimates the broad market valuation and project future returns.
The PS Ratio does not tell you how cheap or expensive the stock is. It cannot be used to compare companies in different industries. It works better for companies within the same industry because these companies tend to have similar capital structures and profit margins. It works the best when comparing a company with itself in the past.

Advanced Battery Technologies (Advanced Battery Technologies) Business Description
Advanced Battery Technologies Inc was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 16, 1984. It is a holding company, which is engaged in design, manufacture and distribution of rechargeable polymer lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cashtech, ZQPT, Wuxi ZQ and the VIE, HLJ ZQPT. ZQ Power-Tech designs, manufactures and markets rechargeable polymer lithium-ion batteries. PLI batteries produce a relatively high average of 3.8 volts per cell, which makes them attractive in terms of both weight and volume. Additionally, they can be manufactured in very thin configurations and with large footprints. PLI cells can be configured in almost any prismatic shape, and can be made thinner than 0.0195 inches to fill virtually any shape efficiently. This combination of power and versatility makes rechargeable PLI batteries particularly attractive for use in consumer products such as portable computers, personal digital assistants and cellular telephones. ZQ Power-Techs batteries combine high-energy chemistry with state-of-the-art polymer technology. Every battery component is solid, which means that there are no liquids that need to be contained by heavy cell housings. The result is a safe, thin, lightweight rechargeable battery with an operating temperature range. Similar to lithium-ion prismatic rechargeable cells, the ZQ Power-Tech polymer cells do not exhibit a memory problem. This means that they can be recharged at any state of charge, without first having to be completely discharged. At the present time, ZQ Power-Tech produces only one finished product. This is a cordless miners lamp equipped with a rechargeable PLI battery. The Companys operating subsidiaries, ZQ Power-Tech and Wuxi ZQ, are subject to numerous Chinese provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment.
