XLNX 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, XLNX the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 6.83x and 3.81x respectively.

Notice that XLNX's current Price to Sales per share ratio is 4.33x, 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 $26.61, XLNX is 19% below where we would expect to see it. This will beneficially factor into our final analysis of XLNX as it is not often that this stock sinks to these levels.

XLNX 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. XLNX is below their historical average multiples of Cash Earnings, as calculated by our proprietary analysis. It is incredibly important to understand that for XLNX, the current level of Cash Earnings compared to its historical levels helps identify where XLNX 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 31.17 and a historical low Cash Earnings per share ratio of 17.97, an investor can relate where value becomes optimal.

With a historical average Cash Earnings ratio of 24.57, the current Cash Earnings ratio of 21.12 is a positive opportunity for value in the Ockham view. Naturally, we would love to see a deeper value opportunity for XLNX, but to get there one of two things must occur (or both). Either the stock price must decline further to increase the long term buying opportunity, or the management at XLNX needs to earn more cash. If either, or both, of these occur, then we could see a significant gap emerge between what investors were willing to pay for in the past, and where XLNX is trading currently (latest close price of $26.61).

XLNX 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.

In XLNX’s case, the estimated annual dividend is $0.64 resulting in a current dividend yield of 2.41%. Similar to our review of Sales and Cash Earnings per share, we evaluate dividend yields from XLNX against the historic high and low levels over the past 10 years. The highest dividend yield from XLNX over this period was 3.92% while the lowest dividend yield was 0.00% XLNX’s current dividend yield is therefore significantly higher than its median dividend yield historically. In fact, the current yield is 22.96% above the median which weighs very positively on our analysis of XLNX.
