Canton Strategic Holdings Inc (CNTN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is CNTN undervalued?
Canton Strategic Holdings Inc (CNTN) closed at 1.87 on 16 Oct 2026, 273% above the GLS average fair value of 0.5011. 1 of the 1 models that produced a number value the shares below the current price. A gap this wide usually means the market is paying for growth or a story the trailing numbers do not show yet; the models work from filed results, not forecasts, so they are conservative by design.
The average is built from just 1 models (DCF) - 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 CNTN 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 CNTN
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.

|---|---|---|---|

| Graham Number | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |
| GLS Growth | - | - | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year; no value tonight |

| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Canton Strategic Holdings Inc scores only 4 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. A GLS Moat score of 1.4/10 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 -9.0%, ROE -9.0%, ROA -6.9% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Canton Strategic Holdings 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 Other Revenue 100% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | -9.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.4 / 10 | ROE | -9.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | -6.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -14.9% | Payout ratio | 0% |

Wheel Score 22: No options
No options are listed on Canton Strategic Holdings Inc in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 22) 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 916k shares a day on a market cap of $149M, with a beta of 1.48 - 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 11 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -273% margin of safety | |
| Health | 9 / 20 | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Moat | 2 / 15 | moat 1.4/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 11 / 20 | 916k shares/day, $149M cap, beta 1.48 |
