Is ASM undervalued?
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM) closed at 5.19 on 16 Oct 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 5.18 (exactly at 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.
The nightly engine files ASM under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
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.

Quality and financial health
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. On durability ASM scores 5.4/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
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 2.0%.
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 | 5.4 / 10 | ROE | 11.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.03 | ROA | 9.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 2.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 64: Fair
A Wheel Score of 64 puts Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 12/25, Health 13/20, Moat 8/15, Premium 20/20 and Stability 10/20; the weakest part is Value (12/25).
Implied volatility is 59% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 26,066 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 3.3M shares a day on a market cap of $882M, with a beta of 2.93 - 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 gives that 10 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 12 / 25 | -0% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.4/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 59% | |
| Stability | 10 / 20 | 3.3M shares/day, $882M cap, beta 2.93 |
