Using xPath to access values of simpleXML

I have a XML object result from my database containing settings.

I am trying to access the values for a particular settingName:

    SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[settings] => Array
    (
        [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
            (
                [settingName] => Test
                [settingDescription] => Testing
                [requireValue] => 1
                [localeID] => 14
                [status] => 1
                [value] => 66
                [settingID] => 5
            )

        [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
            (
                [settingName] => Home Page Stats
                [settingDescription] => Show the Top 5 Teammate / Teamleader stats?
                [requireValue] => 0
                [localeID] => 14
                [status] => 0
                [value] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                    (
                    )

                [settingID] => 3
            )

    )

)

I tried using xPath and have this so far:

$value = $fetchSettings->xpath("//settingName[text()='Test']/../value");

which returns:

Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => 66 ) )

How can I get the actual value and not just another array/object?

The end result will just be 66 for the example above.
