BJ 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, BJ the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 0.31x and 0.19x respectively.
Notice that BJ's current Price to Sales per share ratio is 0.19x, 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 $33.99, BJ is 24% below where we would expect to see it. This will beneficially factor into our final analysis of BJ as it is not often that this stock sinks to these levels.
BJ Cash Earnings
Cash Earnings is always one of the most important factors to review for a company and, more importantly, an investment in a stock. BJ is significantly below its historical average multiple of Cash Earnings. Looking at the last 10 years we can get a good understanding of what investors have grown to expect from BJ. For example, BJ's Cash Earnings ratio per share has fluctuated between 7.58 and 11.84 over this historical timeframe. This range is based upon a proprietary weighted methodology at Ockham, but can clearly show an investor where BJ is with respect to prior business periods.
So with BJ's current price (latest close of $33.99) and most recent level of Cash Earnings reported, we see significant opportunity from a value perspective. At its current price level, BJ is 19% below its average level of Price to Cash Earnings on a historical basis. This means that investors were willing to pay for a much higher stock price than currently for the same level of Cash in the past, on a relative basis. There are a couple of important things to remember, however. First, value doesn't exist in a vacuum. So if the market doesn't recognize this value, even a great disparity in Price to Cash Earnings cannot force an immediate stock price reaction. Second, patience is key when looking at securities that have reached these levels of Price to Cash Earnings versus their historical norms. So be patient with BJ.
BJ Dividends
A strong dividend payment history is looked upon as a favorable characteristic on a company’s future and potentially can receive a positive Ockham rating. That being said, we don't require dividend payments for company's whose management has elected to forgo them entirely. Although they may currently pay a dividend, our data source has no historical record of it for BJ. Since we cannot apply our historical trend analysis to dividends for BJ we have a neutral score for the dividend portion of our analysis.
