Broadwind, Inc. (BWEN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Industrial - Machinery · United States · High Growth
Is BWEN undervalued?
At 3.56 (close of 16 Oct 2026), BWEN trades 41% below the GLS average fair value of 6.00. That average comes from 7 models run on the latest filings, and 4 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 Broadwind, Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 7 models disagree widely: 10 Cap gives 0.8656 while GLS Growth gives 14.25. 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.
The nightly engine files BWEN under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health
On financial health BWEN 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 low at 0.7 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 5.5%, ROE 7.9%, ROA 4.5% - with debt at 0.43 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Broadwind, 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 Industrial Solutions 59%, Gearing 41% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 4/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 5.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 0.7 / 10 | ROE | 7.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.43 | ROA | 4.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -0.6% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 56: Fair
BWEN scores 56 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 25/25, Health 16/20, Moat 1/15, Premium 7/20, Stability 7/20. Moat (1/15) is where the points are missing.
Implied volatility is 111% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (7 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 12,406 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 345k shares a day on a market cap of $84M, with a beta of 1.77 - 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 gives that 7 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 41% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 1 / 15 | moat 0.7/10 | |
| Premium | 7 / 20 | implied volatility 111% | |
| Stability | 7 / 20 | 345k shares/day, $84M cap, beta 1.77 |
