SCHW Revenue
For a long time, value investors have used the current share price relative to sales per share levels as an important valuation tool. We utilize a historical weighted average methodology that treats recent years more importantly in the calculation. When looking at SCHW through this framework, we can see that our weighted average historical high and low Price to Sales per share ratios over the last 10 years are 5.85x and 3.13x respectively.
Utilizing this range we can see that SCHW’s current Price to Sales per share ratio of 4.91x is above its historical average only slightly. So, while not a major concern it is worth noting that from a value perspective SCHW does not look undervalued on a Price to Sales basis. However, were the Price to Sales ratio to drop by 9% (the historical average) then we would become more positive on this stock.
SCHW Cash Earnings
Looking at SCHW specifically in their Cash Earnings capabilities, Ockham views SCHW as 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 9 years of cash earnings levels for SCHW 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 34.04 and a 18.84 low over the same period.
So, again, with a current Price to Cash Earnings per share ratio of 27.92, SCHW is presently above its historical range. Ockham Research is always focused upon the value that investors have placed upon a given metric in the past. In other words, how much would an investor pay for a particular level of Cash Earnings in terms of stock price, and how does that relate to today. Naturally, we utilize proprietary methods to accomplish this, but the basic premise holds true and is simple to understand. For SCHW, we are a bit negative on the Cash Earnings level given its higher than historical norm.
SCHW 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 SCHW against the historic high and low levels over an available data range. Because SCHW has an established history of paying a dividend to shareholders, there is value in comparing recent dividends to historical dividends. In SCHW’s case, the estimated annual dividend is $0.24 producing a current dividend yield of 1.30%. The highest dividend yield from SCHW in recent history was 2.18% while the lowest dividend yield was 0.12%. Management at SCHW has encouraged us with a current dividend yield of 13.04% above the historical median.
