Crown Crafts, Inc. (CRWS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Cyclical · Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances · United States · High Yield Income
Is CRWS undervalued?
Crown Crafts, Inc. (CRWS) closed at 2.43 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 9.23, which puts the price 74% below it. 8 of the 9 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 GLS Growth (1.36) and DCF (22.38). 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 CRWS under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 22.38 | +821% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 6.26 | +157% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 9.55 | +293% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 2.91 | +20% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1.36 | -44% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 17.97 | +640% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 13.54 | +457% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Crown Crafts, Inc. scores 8 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 1.8/10 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 2.9%, ROE 4.7%, ROA 2.6% - with debt at 0.61 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 29.1%.
The dividend yield is high at 11.11% (payout ratio 66%). 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 Unredeemed Store Credits and Gift Certi… 100% (quarter Q2 FY2020).
Institutional ownership scores 3/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 2.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.8 / 10 | ROE | 4.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.61 | ROA | 2.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 29.1% | Payout ratio | 66% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 51: Fair
A Wheel Score of 51 puts Crown Crafts, Inc. in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 25/25, Health 18/20, Moat 3/15, Premium 0/20 and Stability 6/20; the weakest part is Premium (0/20).
No implied volatility is recorded for CRWS - the nightly snapshot found no near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - so the Premium part of the Wheel Score is zero. Chain open interest is thin - 1,741 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 27k shares a day on a market cap of $26M, with a beta of 0.69 - 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.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 74% margin of safety | |
| Health | 18 / 20 | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 1.8/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 27k shares/day, $26M cap, beta 0.69 |
