C3is Inc. (CISS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Marine Shipping · Greece · Value
Is CISS undervalued?
At 0.5635 (close of 16 Oct 2026), CISS trades 100% below the GLS average fair value of 9,284.73. That average comes from 7 models run on the latest filings, and 7 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns C3is Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 7 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 2,677.98 while Graham Growth gives 14,759.98. 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 CISS under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Quality and financial health
On financial health CISS 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 1.5 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 moderate - ROIC 11.0%, ROE 11.0%, ROA 10.6% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 8978.0%.
C3is Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Voyage Charter Revenues 66%, Time Charter Revenues 32%, Other Operating Income 3% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 11.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.5 / 10 | ROE | 11.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 10.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 8978.0% | Payout ratio | 3% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
CISS has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 425k shares a day on a market cap of $155K, with a beta of 1.27 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 10 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 100% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 2 / 15 | moat 1.5/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 10 / 20 | 425k shares/day, $0M cap, beta 1.27 |
