CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (CIBH): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is CIBH undervalued?

CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (CIBH) closed at 38.96 on 5 Nov 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 42.91 (9.2% below fair value). 3 of the 7 models that produced a number sit above the price, 4 below - the market and our models roughly agree. With little margin of safety either way, the case for or against the stock rests on the quality numbers and the option premium rather than on price.

The 7 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 4.33 while 10 Cap gives 133.93. 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.

Ranked against every other company we cover, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for CIBH, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 52, growth score 54, out of 100).

Quality and financial health

On financial health CIBH 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 3.7 out of 10: returns on capital, margins or the balance sheet have not shown a lasting edge yet - often a young company, a thin-margin business or one that has only recently turned profitable.

Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 0.9%, ROE 1.9%, ROA 0.2% - with debt at 1.06 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 15.3%.

CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. 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.

Wheel Score 23: No options

CIBH has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business. It fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade), so the score stays under 70 and is shown as "No options" (23 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.

Volume runs at 4k shares a day on a market cap of $53M, with a beta of 0.23 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
