CHS Inc. (CHSCN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Agricultural Farm Products · United States · High Yield Income
Is CHSCN undervalued?
At 23.55 (close of 16 Oct 2026), CHSCN trades 15% under the GLS average fair value of 27.59. 1 of the 1 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS screen; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
The average is built from just 1 models (DDM) - 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 CHSCN under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
CHS Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 3.1/10 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 4.2%, ROE 5.4%, ROA 3.2% - with debt at 0.29 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 490.8%.
The dividend yield is high at 7.47% (payout ratio 34%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Energy 98%, Other Operating 2% (quarter Q1 FY2026).
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 | 4.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.1 / 10 | ROE | 5.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.29 | ROA | 3.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 490.8% | Payout ratio | 34% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on CHS Inc. 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 47k shares a day on a market cap of $305M, with a beta of 0.20 - 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 | 19 / 25 | 15% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 5 / 15 | moat 3.1/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 47k shares/day, $305M cap, beta 0.20 |
