EOG Revenue
As a value investing shop, we are interested in seeing how EOG's revenues measure up against past performances. One easily understandable way of doing that is to compare Price to Sales per share levels over a given time frame. Assuming it is available, Ockham prefers to look at ten years of history (for this stock there are 10 years of history available) and we weigh recent years more heavily. This allows us to find weighted average historical high and low Price to Sales ratios, which give us a better idea of the stock's current underlying value. Using this method, we have established a high range for Price to Sales of 5.56x and the low end of the range at 2.87x.
With respect to these historically rational metrics, notice that the current Price to Sales per share ratio for EOG of 5.15x is high enough compared with historical norms of EOG to cause some concern. The current Price to Sales per share is near the upper end of the historical range. In our eyes, this is a negative factor because it is more likely that it will return to the normal range than continue rising outside of the range. At current sales per share levels, we would need to see a decline in the Price to Sales ratio of 22% merely to return EOG to its historical average.
EOG Cash Earnings
Looking at EOG specifically in their Cash Earnings capabilities, Ockham views EOG as significantly above its historical average multiple of Cash Earnings. Looking at the last 10 years we can get a good understanding of what investors have grown to expect from EOG. For example, EOG's Cash Earnings ratio per share has fluctuated between 5.57 and 10.77 over this historical timeframe. This range is based upon a proprietary weighted methodology at Ockham, but can clearly show an investor where EOG is with respect to prior business periods.
Just recall that when a stock's price, as in the cases of EOG, is significantly elevated to the level of Cash Earnings being generated, the market has already priced in much of that value. For example, the historical average for EOG's Price to Cash Earnings ratio is 43% below the current ratio of 11.76. That is not an insignificant amount, and diminishes our overall outlook on EOG. However, you need to review several areas of a company's potential, and as management would point out, one metric is not the end-all-be-all of any analysis.
EOG Dividends
While it is not necessary to pay an attractive dividend or a dividend at all, to receive a positive rating from Ockham, we view dividends as an additionally helpful measure in determining the future potential of any company.
In EOG’s case, the estimated annual dividend is $0.62 resulting in a current dividend yield of 0.64%. Similar to our review of Sales and Cash Earnings per share, we evaluate dividend yields from EOG against the historic high and low levels over the past 10 years. The highest dividend yield from EOG over this period was 1.26% while the lowest dividend yield was 0.18% Management at EOG needs to get the current dividend yield above the historical median before we are comfortable from this point of view.
