Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Defensive
Is CYSM undervalued?
Community Bancorp of Santa Maria (CYSM) closed at 19.10 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 29.28, which puts the price 35% below it. 7 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.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 4.71 while 10 Cap gives 54.02. 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 CYSM under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.

| Lynch | 8.85 | -54% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 24.55 | +29% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 54.02 | +183% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - CYSM passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is 5.3 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 9.6%, ROE 10.8%, ROA 1.0% - with debt at 0.11 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 1.68% 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 | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 9.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.3 / 10 | ROE | 10.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.11 | ROA | 1.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
CYSM 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" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 1k shares a day on a market cap of $42M, with a beta of 0.06 - 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 | 35% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.3/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 1k shares/day, $42M cap, beta 0.06 |
