Bain Capital GSS Investment Cor (BCSS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol BCSS · Financial Services · Shell Companies · United States · Class A capital stock · Blend
BCSS is Bain Capital GSS Investment Cor's Class A capital stock. The classes own the same business, share the same earnings report and trade within a few cents of each other; what differs is mainly the vote each share carries - the company's annual report sets out the voting rights.
Is BCSS undervalued?
Bain Capital GSS Investment Cor (BCSS) closed at 10.22 on 5 Nov 2026, 362% above the GLS average fair value of 2.21. 6 of the 6 models that produced a number value the shares below the current price. A gap this wide usually means the market is paying for growth or a story the trailing numbers do not show yet; the models work from filed results, not forecasts, so they are conservative by design.
There is a wide gap between DCF (0.0134) and Graham Number (6.09). 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 BCSS, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 23, growth score 18, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for BCSS
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 | 0.0134 | -100% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 6.09 | -40% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 3.39 | -67% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 0.8408 | -92% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.6153 | -94% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |

| Zombie (liquidation) | -0.3277 | -103% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
No Piotroski health score is on file for BCSS (the statements it needs were not available), so the Health part of the Wheel Score counts it at half marks - 10 of 20 - rather than marking the stock down for missing data. A GLS Moat score of 0.0/10 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 0.9%, ROE 0.9%, ROA 0.9% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Bain Capital GSS Investment Cor 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 9/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | - / 9 | ROIC | 0.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 0.0 / 10 | ROE | 0.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 0.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -0.2% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 9 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 12: No options
No options are listed on Bain Capital GSS Investment Cor in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 12, 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 0k shares a day on a market cap of $479M, with a beta of 0.04 - 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 | Fails | trades 362% above our fair value |
| 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 $479M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
