Battalion Oil Corporation (BATL): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is BATL undervalued?

At 0.7880 (close of 5 Nov 2026), BATL has no GLS fair value: every one of the nine models needs a positive input (the company lost money over the last twelve months, EPS -1.51, it pays no dividend and its debts exceed what its assets would fetch), so the margin of safety is blank and the Wheel Score cannot be computed. Our scans leave the stock out at the first filter. What can be said from the nightly row is below.

The nightly engine files BATL under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

Nine valuation models for BATL

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

Battalion Oil Corporation scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of 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 1.4/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC 3.1%, ROE 6.1%, ROA 2.6% - with debt at 0.98 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 382.0%.

Battalion Oil Corporation pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Oil 90%, Natural gas liquids 10% (quarter Q2 FY2026).

Institutional ownership scores 3/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 14: No options

No options are listed on Battalion Oil Corporation in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 14, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.

Volume runs at 2.3M shares a day on a market cap of $17M, with a beta of 0.51 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
