BOK Financial Corporation (BOKF): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol BOKF · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is BOKF undervalued?
At 132.20 (close of 5 Nov 2026), BOKF trades 36% below the GLS average fair value of 207.05. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 5 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns BOK Financial Corporation the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 1.86 while 10 Cap gives 721.33. 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, BOKF is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 62, growth score 10, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for BOKF
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 | 134.62 | +2% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 157.05 | +19% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 187.18 | +42% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 48.38 | -63% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1.86 | -99% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 721.33 | +446% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 452.17 | +242% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 37.08 | -72% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 123.76 | -6% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -638.77 | -583% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 145.00 | +10% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health BOKF scores 7/9 (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 7.3 out of 10: a record that is solid on some of the four parts the score weighs (returns on capital, pricing power, lasting growth, balance sheet) and weaker on others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 5.5%, ROE 9.8%, ROA 1.1% - with debt at 0.78 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 24.8%.
The dividend yield is 1.91% at a payout ratio of 23%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold. Revenue comes mainly from Fees and commissions revenue 30%, Fiduciary and Trust 14%, Deposit Account 6% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 5.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.3 / 10 | ROE | 9.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.78 | ROA | 1.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 24.8% | Payout ratio | 23% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 45: Weak
BOKF scores 45 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (353 open interest, 169 a day), and the parts are thin too - value strong, premium fair, moat good, health good, red flags good, option trading weak, stability good. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 26% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: enough to pass the 25-80% Wheel Trade Filter, but under the 35-60% sweet spot the score rewards most. Chain open interest is thin - 353 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 250k shares a day on a market cap of $8.0B, with a beta of 0.78 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that good.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | options too quiet (353 open interest, 169 a day) |
| 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 | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 36% below fair value | |
| Premium | Fair | implied volatility 26% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 7.3/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Good | Red Flags score 85/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 169 contracts a day, 353 open interest | |
| Stability | Good | beta 0.78, $8.0B company |
