ODP 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, ODP the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 0.52x and 0.24x respectively.
Notice that ODP's current Price to Sales per share ratio is 0.12x, 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 $5.48, ODP is 68% below where we would expect to see it. This will beneficially factor into our final analysis of ODP as it is not often that this stock sinks to these levels.
ODP Cash Earnings
Price to Cash Earnings analysis is inappropriate for this company due to anticipated negative cash flows for this year. A negative cash flow presents many complications when comparing the company's current value to historically normal valuations. Clearly, when a company fails to earn a profit, it should be a concern for investors. As such, we have taken a negative view on ODP from a cash perspective. We should point out that this metric is a significant element in Ockham’s methodology for analyzing the outlook for any company.
Many young companies have come through difficult times like this before; these companies have an opportunity to grow revenue appropriately to bring them around to profitablity. However, for mature company's with a history of positive cash flow this can be much more distressing. Therefore, for ODP, our overall valutaion is now more dependent on the Price to Sales analysis, and investors should be cautious with a company with very limited, if any, positive cash earnings.
ODP Dividends
While it is not necessary to pay an attractive dividend or a dividend at all, to receive a positive rating from Ockham, we view dividends as an additionally helpful measure in determining the future potential of any company. As far as our investing methodology goes, it is not necessary to pay a dividend in order to get a favorable rating, so as for right now ODP gets a neutral rating for the dividend portion of the model. As you can see, we are not receiving historical dividend information from our data provider on ODP at this time.
