THS 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 6 years. For, THS the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 0.95x and 0.57x respectively.
Notice that THS's current Price to Sales per share ratio is 0.82x, which is slightly above its historical average. This level of Price to Sales gives us a fairly neutral position on the shares. We would like to see a drop in the Price to Sales ratio of 7% given current sales figures before we would become more positive on a Price to Sales basis. Such a drop would put Price to Sales per share in line with THS's weighted historical average.
THS Cash Earnings
Looking at THS specifically in their Cash Earnings capabilities, Ockham views THS as below its historical average multiple of Cash Earnings. Looking at the last 6 years we can get a good understanding of what investors have grown to expect from THS. For example, THS's Cash Earnings ratio per share has fluctuated between 9.29 and 15.63 over this historical timeframe. This range is based upon a proprietary weighted methodology at Ockham, but can clearly show an investor where THS is with respect to prior business periods.
At its current price of $38.60, the Price to Cash Earnings ratio of 11.06 per share for THS is relatively attractive. At current profitability levels, a drop in share price would only improve our future expectations. Again, Cash Earnings is an incredibly valuable metric, and management at THS must continue on its generation to improve our overall outlook for the stock.
THS Dividends
A positive Ockham rating does not require a company to pay out an inviting dividend or a dividend at all. However, we believe dividends provide a useful measure of a company's inherent expectations. Although they may currently pay a dividend, our data source has no historical record of it for THS. Since we cannot apply our historical trend analysis to dividends for THS we have a neutral score for the dividend portion of our analysis.
THS's Dividends Mentioned by Mad Money
For income investors, dividend news is obviously important. THS's dividends were discussed recently on Mad Money.
We noticed recently that in comparison to all other stocks we analyze in the news; THS has received less coverage from the financial media in business television and blogs. Treehouse Foods, Incorporated receives our Fairly Valued rating in our latest report because the current price does not seem out of line with the fundamentals. The Motley Fool CAPS crowd believes this stock will perform generally in line with the benchmark, or in other words the crowd is neutral.
“… TREEHOUSE FOODS our faip favorite private label play. We liked it at 28 and it's at 38 and we still like it. We'll listen to. Fleur. …”
Discussion Turns to THS and Merger Talk on Mad Money
While we do not know the details relating to THS and any possible deal, our RazorWire news analytics has noticed a mention of the stock near a conversation about M&A activity.
Crowd sentiment is neutral from the millions of opinions submitted through Motley Fool CAPS, which suggests most investors on their platform believe Treehouse Foods, Incorporated will perform just about the same as the index. We considered THS as Undervalued as of our latest report at $33.56. According to our methodology, this stock has appreciation potential based on current fundamentals which only improves if earnings or revenue surprise. That being said, the recent price appriciation does make it slightly less attractive to value investors as they may have missed the boat. As we analyze the results from RazorWire, one thing we do is rank each stock in terms of amount of news coverage. Recently, THS has been less covered in the news compared to the rest of our universe of stocks. Check the news on this stock because there is a catalyst that has allowed this stock to advance 12.34% today.

Of "off the charts." we've got dueling chartists tonight, two technicians who are squaring off on whether we can turn jars of pickles into jars of cash by buying private-label pickle-maker TREEHOUSE FOODS, ths, for all of you home gamers. It also makes baby foods, soups, jams, jellies and salad dressing, making for one unappetizing sandwich, even as I think it may be a delicious stock. We're huge sponsors of treehouse which has had a big run and is one of the few stocks to go higher during yesterday's brutal sell-off that shaved 186 points off the dow. That piqued our interest, because when we see stocks that can buck the gravity of a down 186-point day, we know we might have a rocket on our hands.
