Is COHN undervalued?
Cohen & Company Inc. (COHN) closed at 10.76 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 6 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 141.88, which puts the price 92% below it. 6 of the 6 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.
The 6 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 31.43 while GLS Growth gives 481.03. 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 COHN under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - COHN passes 5 of the nine Piotroski tests, which falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.5 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 high - ROIC 14.3%, ROE 28.3%, ROA 2.1% - with debt at 0.98 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 34.39% (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 New Issue and Advisory 78%, Underwriting 22%, Origination 0% (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 | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 14.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.5 / 10 | ROE | 28.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.98 | ROA | 2.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -23.4% | Payout ratio | 34% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
