SPP Revenue
Cash earnings is the most important factor in our analysis, but it goes without saying that if a company cannot produce sales then there is no ability to generate cash flow. By that logic we look very closely at revenue numbers as our second most important factor in valuing a company's stock. We have established reasonable Price to Sales per share ranges based on historical data of the last 10 years. For, SPP the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 0.83x and 0.48x respectively.
Notice that SPP's current Price to Sales per share ratio is 0.44x, which is quite a bit below what we consider a normal Price to Sales ratio for this stock. Given normal conditions and a price of $4.40, SPP is 33% below where we would expect to see it. This will beneficially factor into our final analysis of SPP as it is not often that this stock sinks to these levels.
SPP Cash Earnings
As the old saying goes, "Cash is King!" We look at reported Cash Earnings, but the main emphasis of our analysis involves stripping out non-cash events such as depreciation from our cash earnings analysis. This helps us view the cash flows more clearly. Nevertheless, an analysis of Cash Earnings (both reported and otherwise) is absolutely pivotal to assessing a company's value, and currently SPP is significantly above its historical average multiple of cash earnings as calculated by Ockham. Similar to our analysis of sales per share, Ockham looks at the last 10 years of cash earnings levels for SPP to identify where the current high and low price levels have been historically in relation to profit per share. Again, we utilize a weighted average methodology which relies more heavily on recent years of data. This weighted average framework provides us with an average high Price to Cash Earnings ratio per share of 11.44 and a 6.08 low over the same period.
Just recall that when a stock's price, as in the cases of SPP, 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 SPP's Price to Cash Earnings ratio is 22% below the current ratio of 10.73. That is not an insignificant amount, and diminishes our overall outlook on SPP. 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.
SPP 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.
