Cuisine Solutions, Inc. (CUSI): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Food Confectioners · United States · High Growth
Is CUSI undervalued?
CUSI closed at 26.47 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 1.10. Only 0 of the 9 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the Sunday Scan drops names like this at the "below fair value" rule.
The 9 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 0.0104 while DDM gives 5.89. 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 CUSI under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

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 Growth | 0.0420 | -100% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 0.0104 | -100% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.1594 | -99% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 2.03 | -92% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 0.2578 | -99% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - CUSI 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 2.8 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 thin or negative - ROIC 0.1%, ROE 0.2%, ROA 0.1% - with debt at 0.31 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 0.2%.
The dividend yield is 1.51% at a payout ratio of 0%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 0.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.8 / 10 | ROE | 0.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.31 | ROA | 0.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.2% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |

CUSI 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" (22 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $465M, with a beta of -0.43 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 7 of 20.
