Century Financial Corporation (CYFL): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is CYFL undervalued?

At 50.10 (close of 5 Nov 2026), CYFL trades 63% below the GLS average fair value of 135.37. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 8 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 Century Financial Corporation the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.

The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 21.04 while GLS Growth gives 344.17. 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 CYFL under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

Nine valuation models for CYFL

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.

Quality and financial health

Financial health is weak: CYFL passes 3 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our scans drop the stock at the health filter; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is 8.1 out of 10 - high returns on capital, steady margins and growth that held up through bad years point to a durable business.

Returns on capital are high - ROIC 12.9%, ROE 13.9%, ROA 1.9% - with debt at 0.08 times equity and negative free cash flow.

The dividend yield is 2.85% 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.

Wheel Score 33: No options

CYFL has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business. It fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade), so the score stays under 70 and is shown as "No options" (33 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.

Volume runs at 2k shares a day on a market cap of $83M, with a beta of 0.14 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
