LPHI 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, LPHI the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 6.10x and 1.98x respectively.
Notice that LPHI's current Price to Sales per share ratio is 4.58x, 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 13% 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 LPHI's weighted historical average.
LPHI Cash Earnings
As a value investment framework, Ockham Research is similar to a private equity firm in terms of our valuation methods. We are always on the lookout for value in the form of sales and cash numbers. In the case of LPHI, Ockham views their current Cash Earnings as significantly below their historical average multiples of Cash Earnings, as calculated by our proprietary analysis. It is incredibly important to understand that for LPHI, the current level of Cash Earnings compared to its historical levels helps identify where LPHI is in relation to what the investing community was willing to pay for this level of Cash Earnings in the past. With a historical high Cash Earnings per share ratio of 30.78 and a historical low Cash Earnings per share ratio of 10.54, an investor can relate where value becomes optimal.
So what does "significantly below" mean when we talk about Price to Cash Earnings numbers for LPHI? From the Ockham perspective, we are looking specifically at LPHI to see if the market is recognizing the huge disparity between LPHI's past stock price to Cash Earnings ratio to today's levels. At a difference of 47% below the average historical Price to Cash Earnings ratio, our view would be quite positive at this point. However, as with all metrics, we need to also take other factors into account when looking at LPHI. While we view better Cash Earnings metrics as very important, if the market is slow to identify this value, or if Cash Earnings were to fall from these levels, we would become more neutral in our stance.
LPHI 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.
Comparable to our analysis of Sales and Cash Earnings per share, we examine dividend yields from LPHI against the historic high and low levels over an available data range. Because LPHI has an established history of paying a dividend to shareholders, there is value in comparing recent dividends to historical dividends. In LPHI’s case, the estimated annual dividend is $1.00 producing a current dividend yield of 4.37%. The highest dividend yield from LPHI in recent history was 7.35% while the lowest dividend yield was 0.00%. It's hard not to notice that LPHI pays a current dividend yield that is 18.91% above the historical median. This peaks our interest since our analysis looks favorably upon dividend yields that are greater than the historical median.

About a company before they sell it you want to make your own call about the morality of it. This may look like a low life form of capitalism, but from a business perspective, LIFE PARTNERS has been a tremendous growth story with sales increasing at a 39% clip in each of the past eight quarters and earnings up 39% in the most recent quarter so it's a sexy story that's working.
