1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. (BCOW): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol BCOW · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Blend Income
Is BCOW undervalued?
BCOW closed at 13.95 on 5 Nov 2026, 25% below the GLS average fair value of 18.67 from 8 models (3 of them above the price). That is a moderate margin of safety: the stock passes the "below fair value" Wheel Trade Filter, with room for a bigger discount on the Value part.
There is a wide gap between EPV (2.46) and DDM (68.77). 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, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for BCOW, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 67, growth score 76, out of 100). It also carries the Income tag (Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).
Nine valuation models for BCOW
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 | 8.37 | -40% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 12.67 | -9% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 5.54 | -60% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 13.56 | -3% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 16.09 | +15% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 21.93 | +57% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 68.77 | +393% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 2.46 | -82% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -98.23 | -804% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 2.4/10 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 0.8%, ROE 2.0%, ROA 0.2% - with debt at 1.56 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 33.51% (payout ratio 0%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual.
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 0.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.4 / 10 | ROE | 2.0% |
| Debt / equity | 1.56 | ROA | 0.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 29: No options
No options are listed on 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 29, 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 3k shares a day on a market cap of $72M, with a beta of -0.07 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 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 | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $72M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 25% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Weak | moat 2.4/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
