BLK Revenue
As a value investing shop, we are interested in seeing how BLK’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 6.94x and the low end of the range at 3.93x.
With respect to these historically rational metrics, notice that the current Price to Sales per share ratio for BLK of 2.78x is well below its normal historic Price to Sales levels. At a price of $206.93, BLK is 49% below where we would expect to see it. Clearly, this stock looks undervalued compared to historical levels, at least on a Price to Sales basis. This will positively affect our analysis because it is rare to find a stock this far below historical norms, and we would expect some price appreciation to bring this metric back towards a more normal range.
BLK Cash Earnings
Looking at BLK specifically in their Cash Earnings capabilities, Ockham views BLK as 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 BLK 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 38.54 and a 21.79 low over the same period.
Now that BLK’s current price is $206.93 and its Price to Cash Earnings ratio is 19.14, we are very positive on its outlook from the cash earnings perspective. In fact, BLK is now trading a full 37% below its average historical Price to Cash Earnings ratio at these profit per share levels. When our clients ask us why BLK 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.
BLK Dividends
When determining a company’s future prospects for success, Ockham Research sees analysis of dividend payments as a key additional factor. Even though it isn’t imperative for BLK to shell out a dividend in order to receive a positive rating, it can be helpful to further our analysis.
The estimated annual dividend for BLK is $3.12 producing a current dividend yield of 1.51%. Much like our evaluation of Sales and Cash Earnings per share, we review dividend yields from BLK against the historic high and low levels over all available dividend history. Because dividends are a decision made exclusively by management, we view a healthy and rising dividend as a sign of confidence and strength. The highest dividend yield from BLK over previous years was 3.51% while the lowest dividend yield was 0.00%. Given this range, the current dividend yield for BLK is below its historical median and not terribly attractive from this perspective.

That doesn’t sound like quality, >> therein lies part of the problem one has at this point. You’re right, emerging markets tend not to have quality.

“…Investors and analysts are clamoring for someone outside. They don’t think those six have the chops so to speak. I will tell you, I spoke with larry fink recently. I asked him if he wanted the he said no way. He’s running a big firm. BLACKROCK is the biggest money management firm. If they went to him, I wonder if he would say no. Remember, larry wanted to run he went up for that job. In my book I talk about that, this sort of process of picking john thain who eventually became the ceo. At one point fipgnk was actually promised the job right before they gave it to thain. All but promised, and then they gave it to thain. Which was an interesting turn of events for larry. BLACKROCK now is a very big I don’t know how he jumps from there to here, but I tell you there is growing, growing chorus from investors and analysts to get someone outside of note, of experience, someone like the guy that runs bank of new york is another name I keep hearing.

Nice to have you on the program. >> thank you, maria. >> you are overseeing the integration of these two firms. How is it going and tell me what you’ve been dealing with closely. >> first of all, I think it’s going really well. I think the teams are working great together. The challenge of an integration at this stage before we close is mostly about everybody learning more about each other, being good listeners, beginning to think about how we come together to best serve our combined clients. And ensure we provide sort of a smooth transition, a seamless transition for those clients as we bring together disparrate views. >> people say the most important thing when do you a deal is you’ve got the culture of barclays and BLACKROCK. How do those cultures different and how do you get them in sync? >> I think that is a long it happens over the course of two years. I think the cultures have a lot of similarities. We are both deeply committed to focusing on our clients, to delivering the best investment products possible to our using disciplined investment processes. We are both very committed to risk management. I think there are differences we approached the markets differently in the past, and so I think there are some difference necessary our cultures that relate to that approach that have grown out of those approaches.

I believe a great amount of growth is going to be coming from overseas. We are talking about china, brazil, the indian markets that are going to have faster growth than our market. That means greater savings, that means greater, a faster growth in their middle class area of savings will be larger. So we expect opportunities overseas to be very robust over the next five years.

As we first were reporting, ge and comcast are in talks about a deal that would transfer control of nbc universal to comcast by merging with the content assets of comcast and a good deal of the deal under consideration would allow comcast to take 51% economic control of nbc universal, which people close to negotiations tell me is currently being valued at roughly $30 billion.

Under the scenario being contemplated, ge would spin nbc universal with a significant …” – BLK on Closing Bell

Tell me what it gives the firm so you can give me a sense where BLACKROCK goes next. >> if I had, if I was asked and I was asked numerous times what are the few firms I really expected, bgi was always on that it was a great organization, great culture, a great history with investors, and it also had the leading platform of etfs called ishares with about 48% market share in the fastest-growing component of the mutual fund area. You put together its strength in equities, its unique position in indexing and lending, it has given us a much broader base to work with our clients worldwide.

A client never remembers when they made money, but they remember every single time they our job is to protect their principle and get them value in the marketplace today. We do that from being on top of the markets. We do that from bringing them BLACKROCK was the first to bring the technology of the sell side to the buy side of the market. Today we act as a steward for over $7 trillion, actually, of assets we advise. And $1.5 billion or $1.5 trillion of assets we actually through our acquisition of bgi, it will be $3 trillion of assets. It’s a very big responsibility, but it’s always focused on the client as to what value can we bring that particular client. Clients today used to have 20 different managers, the big institutional clients. If they didn’t work, they are looking for clients that have a broader, a firm that has a broader plate of products. They are looking for a firm that and they are looking for firms that are bringing them solutions to their problems. So that said, we really have focused all our efforts around the firm.

“…Huge return for investors. Talking about a 1600% return since then. Annualized 32% a year. How has the financial landscape changed in the past decade and where is BLACKROCK seeing opportunities now? I’m joined with larry fink, ceo of BLACKROCK and our guest host and robert capito. Thank you for having us here at your trading floor. >> welcome, welcome. Congratulations to you. We have seen so much. Things have changed. Tell us. >> well, when we went public, we went public during the dot-com we were a boring dot. No one wanted to buy it. >> you were BLACKROCK.Com. We continued to perform for most importantly because we continued to perform for our so we did quite well. Much has changed. I think the whole landscape has changed certainly in the last it accelerated with the changes in our security industry and the banking industry. Before that we were starting to see that change of companies, small companies were becoming large like BLACKROCK. The expansion of wall street and the power of wall street. It went from a cottage industry in the 1970s to a major now we are trying to be restabilized. Lots have happened. I think the most important trend is globalization. Cnbc spends as much time talking about global markets today as it does domestic markets. We are talking about not just stocks, we are talking about commodities, talking about so the expansion of our capital markets worldwide are huge. The growth of the global capital markets are probably the fundamental changes. >> we’ve got a lot of time to talk about what’s going on here and how the environment feels to you right now, which I want to get into, but here we are on the fixed income or one of the fixed incomes in trading for us.

(Although, it doesn’t seem like tons of money is swooping in stop the sell off we’re seeing today.) There’s a lot of cash in measly money market mutual funds.

“…the lawsuit would effect all rent controlled apartments in New York City.Somehow the army of investment bankers and lawyers representing Tishman, BLACKROCK (NYSE:BLK), SL Green and the Government of Singapore et al missed this little detail during their diligence.
