Charter Communications, Inc. Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (CHTRP): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is CHTRP undervalued?

Charter Communications, Inc. Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (CHTRP) closed at 22.10 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 471.70, which puts the price 95% below it. 8 of the 8 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.

There is a wide gap between Lynch (33.35) and 10 Cap (1,381.39). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.

The nightly engine files CHTRP 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 CHTRP

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.

Quality and financial health

Charter Communications, Inc. Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock 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 CHTRP scores 6.1/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC 4.4%, ROE 31.1%, ROA 3.2% - with debt at 6.05 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 29.4%. Debt of 6.05 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.

Charter Communications, Inc. Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock 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 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 39: No options

No options are listed on Charter Communications, Inc. Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock 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 14k shares a day on a market cap of $159M, with a beta of 0.00 - 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.
