Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (BLIN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Technology · Software - Infrastructure · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is BLIN undervalued?
At 0.7213 (close of 16 Oct 2026), BLIN 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 -0.11, 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 screens leave the stock out at the first rule. What can be said from the nightly row is below.
The nightly engine files BLIN under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for BLIN
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.

| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Bridgeline Digital, Inc. scores only 2 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 1.0/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -25.1%, ROE -26.3%, ROA -16.4% - with debt at 0.05 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Bridgeline Digital, Inc. 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 Subscription 79%, Service 21% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 2/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 2 / 9 | ROIC | -25.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.0 / 10 | ROE | -26.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.05 | ROA | -16.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -3.5% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 2 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 24: No options
No options are listed on Bridgeline Digital, Inc. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 24) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 19k shares a day on a market cap of $9M, with a beta of 0.92; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 13 / 25 | 0% margin of safety | |
| Health | 4 / 20 | Piotroski 2/9 | |
| Moat | 2 / 15 | moat 1.0/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 19k shares/day, $9M cap, beta 0.92 |
