CHA 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 9 years. For, CHA the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 2.45x and 1.18x respectively.
Notice that CHA’s current Price to Sales per share ratio is 1.28x, which is significantly below its average levels historically. In fact, with a current price of $48.67, CHA is a full 30% below its average Price to Sales ratio at comparable sales levels. This is a rare occurrence and, when taken in context of the other areas of our analysis, can be a strong positive for our outlook for CHA.
CHA 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. CHA is above their historical average multiples of Cash Earnings, as calculated by our proprietary analysis. It is incredibly important to understand that for CHA, the current level of Cash Earnings compared to its historical levels helps identify where CHA 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 6.63 and a historical low Cash Earnings per share ratio of 3.07, an investor can relate where value becomes optimal.
Given this range of ratios per share, CHA at its current price of $48.67 and a Price to Cash Earnings ratio of 4.90 is 1% above its average historical Price to Cash Earnings ratio. Obviously this makes us more hesitant about CHA because cash earnings would need to rise to improve the valuation. Likewise, a decline in Price to Cash Earnings to below the average of 4.85 would significantly improve our outlook for CHA given the current profit levels.
CHA 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 CHA 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 CHA is $0.99 producing a current dividend yield of 2.03%. Much like our evaluation of Sales and Cash Earnings per share, we review dividend yields from CHA 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 CHA over previous years was 4.21% while the lowest dividend yield was 0.00%. CHA is not making us feel all that confident when their current dividend yield is below the historical median by 3.56%.
