EXC Revenue
As a value investing shop, we are interested in seeing how EXC's revenues measure up against past performances. One easily understandable way of doing that is to compare Price to Sales per share levels over a given time frame. Assuming it is available, Ockham prefers to look at ten years of history (for this stock there are 10 years of history available) and we weigh recent years more heavily. This allows us to find weighted average historical high and low Price to Sales ratios, which give us a better idea of the stock's current underlying value. Using this method, we have established a high range for Price to Sales of 2.50x and the low end of the range at 1.61x.
With respect to these historically rational metrics, notice that the current Price to Sales per share ratio for EXC of 1.68x is quite a bit below what we consider a normal Price to Sales ratio for this stock. Given normal conditions and a price of $44.24, EXC is 19% below where we would expect to see it. This will beneficially factor into our final analysis of EXC as it is not often that this stock sinks to these levels.
EXC 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. EXC is significantly below its historical average multiple of cash earnings as calculated by Ockham. Similar to our analysis of sales per share, Ockham looks at the last 10 years of cash earnings levels for EXC 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 11.32 and a 7.20 low over the same period.
Now that EXC’s current price is $44.24 and its Price to Cash Earnings ratio is 6.33, we are very positive on its outlook from the cash earnings perspective. In fact, EXC is now trading a full 32% below its average historical Price to Cash Earnings ratio at these profit per share levels. When our clients ask us why EXC has great long term potential, the Cash Earnings levels to current stock is one of our primary reasons. But naturally, now we need for the overall market to recognize this disparity.
EXC 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.
When reviewing dividend yields for EXC, we compare the historic high and low levels over the past, which is similar to our evaluation of Sales and Cash Earnings per share. Paying a dividend is not necessary for any company, but changes in dividend often can lend clues as to the health of the business. A rising dividend is a strong sign for an established company, as it reflects management's confidence in the company. EXC’s estimated annual dividend is $2.10 resulting in a current dividend yield of 4.75%. The highest dividend yield from EXC over recent history was 5.47% while the lowest dividend yield was 1.79%. It's hard not to notice that EXC pays a current dividend yield that is 30.85% above the historical median. This peaks our interest since our analysis looks favorably upon dividend yields that are greater than the historical median.
