Value
Value is all about what a company is worth versus what price it is
available for. If you went into a grocery store and all the bananas were on sale
at half price, they could be considered
undervalued.
INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS
Here we compare the current
share
price of
Computer Programs and Systems
to its discounted cash flow analysis.value.The discounted cash flow value is simply looking at what the company is worth today, based on estimates of how much money it is expected to make in the future.
Below are the data sources, inputs and calculation used to determine the intrinsic value for Computer Programs and Systems.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |
| Levered Free Cash Flow | Average of 8 Analyst Estimates (S&P Global) | See below |
| Discount Rate (Cost of Equity) | See below | 10.2% |
| Perpetual Growth Rate | 10-Year US Government Bond Rate | 2.7% |
An important part of a discounted cash flow is the discount rate, below we explain how it has been calculated.
| Data Point | Calculation/ Source | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-Free Rate | 10-Year US Govt Bond Rate | 2.7% |
| Equity Risk Premium | S&P Global | 6% |
| Healthcare Services Unlevered Beta | Simply Wall St/ S&P Global | 1.08 |
| Re-levered Beta | = Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity))
= 1.081 (1 + (1- 21%) (34.36%)) |
1.251 |
| Levered Beta | Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm) |
1.25 |
| Discount Rate/ Cost of Equity |
= Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + (Levered Beta * Equity Risk Premium)
= 2.73% + (1.251 * 5.96%) |
10.19% |
Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for NasdaqGS:CPSI using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Computer Programs and Systems is arrived at by discounting future cash flows to their present value using the 2 stage method. We try to start with analysts estimates of free cash flow, however if these are not available we use the most recent financial results. In the 1st stage we continue to grow the free cash flow over a 10 year period, with the growth rate trending towards the perpetual growth rate used in the 2nd stage. The 2nd stage assumes the company grows at a stable rate into perpetuity.

PRICE RELATIVE TO MARKET
We can also value a company based on what the stock market is willing to pay for
it. This is similar to the price of fruit (e.g. Mangoes or Avocados) increasing
when they are out of season, or how much your home is worth.The amount the stock market is willing to pay for Computer Programs and Systems's earnings, growth and assets is considered below, and whether this is a fair price.

Performance last year
We want to ensure a company is making the most of what it has available. This is
done by comparing the return (profit) to a company's available
funds,
assets
and
capital.
- Computer Programs and Systems has not efficiently used shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity less than 20%).
- Computer Programs and Systems used its assets more efficiently than the US Healthcare Services industry average last year based on Return on Assets.
- Computer Programs and Systems's use of capital deteriorated last year versus 3 years ago (Return on Capital Employed).
Past performance checks
We assess Computer Programs and Systems's performance over the past 5 years by checking for:- Has earnings increased in past 5 years? (1 check)
- Has the earnings growth in the last year exceeded that of the Healthcare Services industry? (1 check)
- Is the recent earnings growth over the last year higher than the average annual growth over the past 5 years? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Equity (ROE) higher than 20%? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Assets (ROA) above industry average? (1 check)
- Has the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) increased from 3 years ago? (1 check)
Computer Programs and Systems has a total score of 1/6, see the detailed checks below.
Note: We use GAAP Net Income excluding extraordinary items in all our calculations.

Health
How is Computer Programs and Systems's financial health and their level of debt?
A company's financial position is much like your own financial position,
it includes everything you own
(assets)
and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up Computer Programs and Systems's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- Computer Programs and Systems is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- Computer Programs and Systems's long term commitments exceed its cash and other short term assets.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- Low level of unsold assets.
- Debt is not covered by short term assets, assets are 0.6x debt.
Historical Debt
Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.

Simply Wall St - – Full articleIs Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPSI) A Smart Choice For Dividend Investors?
(NASDAQ:CPSI) tend to be popular with investors, and for good reason - some research suggests a significant amount of all stock market returns come from reinvested dividends. Yet sometimes, investors buy a stock for its dividend and lose money because the share price falls by more than they earned in dividend payments. A slim 1.5% yield is hard to get excited about, but the long payment history is respectable. At the right price, or with strong growth opportunities, Computer Programs and Systems could have potential. There are a few simple ways to reduce the risks of buying Computer Programs and Systems for its dividend, and we'll go through these below. Click the interactive chart for our full dividend analysis NasdaqGS:CPSI Historical Dividend Yield, June 21st 2019 Payout ratios Dividends are usually paid out of company earnings. If a company is paying more than it earns, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. So we need to form a view on if a company's dividend is sustainable, relative to its net profit after tax. Computer Programs and Systems paid out 33% of its profit as dividends, over the trailing twelve month period. This is medium payout level that leaves enough capital in the business to fund opportunities that might arise, while also rewarding shareholders. One of the risks is that management reinvests the retained capital poorly instead of paying a higher dividend. We also measure dividends paid against a company's levered free cash flow, to see if enough cash was generated to cover the dividend. Computer Programs and Systems's cash payout ratio last year was 21%. Cash flows are typically lumpy, but this looks like an appropriately conservative payout. It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. This generally suggests the dividend is sustainable, as long as earnings don't drop precipitously. Is Computer Programs and Systems's Balance Sheet Risky? As Computer Programs and Systems has a meaningful amount of debt, we need to check its balance sheet to see if the company might have debt risks. A rough way to check this is with these two simple ratios: a) net debt divided by EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation), and b) net interest cover. Net debt to EBITDA is a measure of a company's total debt. Net interest cover measures the ability to meet interest payments on debt. Essentially we check that a) a company does not have too much debt, and b) that it can afford to pay the interest. … We struggle to make a case for buying Computer Programs and Systems for its dividend, given that payments have shrunk over the past ten years. … Conclusion To summarise, shareholders should always check that Computer Programs and Systems's dividends are affordable, that its dividend payments are relatively stable, and that it has decent prospects for growing its earnings and dividend.
