Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. (CCEC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Marine Shipping · Greece · Defensive
Is CCEC undervalued?
Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. (CCEC) closed at 20.25 on 16 Oct 2026, 18% above the GLS average fair value of 17.09. Only 2 of the 6 models that produced a number value the shares above the current price. The margin of safety is negative, so the stock fails the "below fair value" rule of the Sunday Scan; a premium of this size is common for companies whose growth the models are conservative about.
The 6 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 2.56 while Graham Growth gives 41.48. 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 CCEC under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.
Nine valuation models for CCEC
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 22.47 | +11% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 41.48 | +105% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 17.50 | -14% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 2.56 | -87% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | 8.83 | -56% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 9.70 | -52% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -37.06 | -283% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 20.00 | -1% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - CCEC passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.1 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 thin or negative - ROIC 1.4%, ROE 3.7%, ROA 1.3% - with debt at 1.66 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 2.96% at a payout ratio of 13%; 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.
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 1.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.1 / 10 | ROE | 3.7% |
| Debt / equity | 1.66 | ROA | 1.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -51.3% | Payout ratio | 13% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 50: Fair
CCEC scores 50 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 5/25, Health 13/20, Moat 3/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 8/20. Value (5/25) is where the points are missing.
Implied volatility is 39% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is thin - 376 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 6k shares a day on a market cap of $1.2B, with a beta of 0.67 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 8 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 5 / 25 | -18% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.1/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 39% | |
| Stability | 8 / 20 | 6k shares/day, $1.2B cap, beta 0.67 |
