GCI 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, GCI the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 2.07x and 1.28x respectively.
Notice that GCI's current Price to Sales per share ratio is 0.57x, 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 $13.53, GCI is 67% below where we would expect to see it. This will beneficially factor into our final analysis of GCI as it is not often that this stock sinks to these levels.
GCI Cash Earnings
When reviewing a company and their prospects for success, it is necessary to analyze their ability to generate positive Cash Earnings. This is a vital component to our analysis, because as a long term investment research firm, there are few factors more closely tied to the valuation of a company as Cash Earnings. In the case of GCI, it appears that either the current estimate for Cash Earnings is negative or GCI is not likely to generate positive Cash Earnings based upon their prior performance in the last several quarters.
Remember that Cash Earnings is not the only way to value a company's potential, but in our analysis it is the most important. Thus, for our analysis GCI receives a negative score from a Cash perspective. At Ockham, we are fond of saying "Cash is King," and in this case the company is not generating any. If a company is not able to generate a profit then there is no reason to invest in them. Unless of course you believe in the story, and hope it will eventually lead to a profitable enterprise.
GCI 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 GCI against the historic high and low levels over an available data range. Because GCI has an established history of paying a dividend to shareholders, there is value in comparing recent dividends to historical dividends. In GCI’s case, the estimated annual dividend is $0.16 producing a current dividend yield of 1.18%. The highest dividend yield from GCI in recent history was 32.00% while the lowest dividend yield was 0.92%. While it is quite common for a growth stock to pay no dividend at all, but for a mature company such as GCI that has a history of paying dividends it is disappointing to see their dividend yield drop so significantly. At this time, the current dividend yield is 92.83% below the median yield.
