Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol ASM · Basic Materials · Other Precious Metals · Canada · Growth
Is ASM undervalued?
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM) closed at 4.74 on 5 Nov 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 5.18 (8.6% below fair value). 1 of the 7 models that produced a number sit above the price, 6 below - the market and our models roughly agree. With little margin of safety either way, the case for or against the stock rests on the quality numbers and the option premium rather than on price.
There is a wide gap between Lynch (1.06) and GLS Growth (16.17). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.
Ranked against every other company we cover, ASM is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 39, growth score 86, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for ASM
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 3.14 | -34% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 4.26 | -10% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 1.06 | -78% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 16.17 | +241% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 4.68 | -1% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 4.03 | -15% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 2.7/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 11.3%, ROE 11.6%, ROA 9.4% - with debt at 0.03 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.1%.
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 3/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 11.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.7 / 10 | ROE | 11.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.03 | ROA | 9.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 2.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 28: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 28 Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 7, a premium worth selling - implied volatility 82% (over 80%); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $805M (under $1.0B); and filter 9, not a penny stock - price 4.74 (under $5); Stability (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 82%, above the 80% ceiling of the Wheel Trade Filter on premium. The premium looks generous, but moves of that size can blow through any strike. Chain open interest is 3,709 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 5.1M shares a day on a market cap of $805M, with a beta of 3.01 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that weak.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded a day |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | implied volatility 82% (over 80%) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $805M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 4.74 (under $5) |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 9% below fair value | |
| Premium | Fair | implied volatility 82% | |
| Moat | Weak | moat 2.7/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 90/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 334 contracts a day, 3,709 open interest | |
