Bel Fuse Inc. (BELFA): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is BELFA undervalued?

BELFA closed at 174.19 on 5 Nov 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 98.60. Only 1 of the 9 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the "below fair value" Wheel Trade Filter keeps names like this under 70.

The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 4.12 while Payback Time gives 191.83. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.

Ranked against every other company we cover, BELFA is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 16, growth score 74, out of 100).

Nine valuation models for BELFA

Quality and financial health

On financial health BELFA scores 9/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is low at 3.8 out of 10: returns on capital, margins or the balance sheet have not shown a lasting edge yet - often a young company, a thin-margin business or one that has only recently turned profitable.

Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 9.5%, ROE 14.5%, ROA 6.6% - with debt at 0.52 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.0%.

The dividend yield is 0.13% with a payout ratio of 5% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Power Solutions and Protection 73%, Magnetic Solutions 27% (quarter Q4 FY2025).

Institutional ownership scores 8/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 20: No options

BELFA has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business. It fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade), so the score stays under 70 and is shown as "No options" (20 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.

Volume runs at 84k shares a day on a market cap of $2.6B, with a beta of 1.43 - 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 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.
