Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is CAIB undervalued?
California International Bank, N.A. (CAIB) closed at 0.1000 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 1 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 0.2122, which puts the price 53% below it. 1 of the 1 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
The average is built from just 1 models (10 Cap) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
The nightly engine files CAIB 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 CAIB
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.

Quality and financial health
California International Bank, N.A. scores only 0 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. On durability CAIB scores 6.6/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 7.9%, ROE 7.9%, ROA 1.1% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 10.6%.
California International Bank, N.A. 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 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 0 / 9 | ROIC | 7.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.6 / 10 | ROE | 7.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 1.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 10.6% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on California International Bank, N.A. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) 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 15k shares a day on a market cap of $17M, 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 gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 53% margin of safety | |
| Health | 0 / 20 | Piotroski 0/9 | |
| Moat | 10 / 15 | moat 6.6/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
