Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (EBMT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol EBMT · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is EBMT undervalued?
At 21.44 (close of 5 Nov 2026), EBMT trades 34% below the GLS average fair value of 32.42. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 6 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 Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 9 models disagree widely: DCF gives 2.31 while 10 Cap gives 71.16. 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, EBMT is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 71, growth score 36, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for EBMT
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 2.31 | -89% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 32.98 | +54% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 61.77 | +188% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 23.21 | +8% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 9.17 | -57% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 71.16 | +232% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 60.75 | +183% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 8.57 | -60% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 21.90 | +2% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -200.15 | -1034% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 24.00 | +12% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: EBMT passes 4 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 low at 4.8 out of 10: returns on capital, margins or the balance sheet have not shown a lasting edge yet - often a young company, a thin-margin business or one that has only recently turned profitable.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 5.4%, ROE 7.7%, ROA 0.7% - with debt at 0.43 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 13.6%.
The dividend yield is 2.72% at a payout ratio of 22%; 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. Revenue comes mainly from Bank Servicing 72%, Debit Card 18%, Deposit Account 10% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 7/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 5.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.8 / 10 | ROE | 7.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.43 | ROA | 0.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 13.6% | Payout ratio | 22% |
| Institutions | 7 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 30: No options
EBMT 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" (30 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 75k shares a day on a market cap of $171M, with a beta of 0.36 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $171M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 34% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.8/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | not scored yet - half marks | |
| Option trading | Weak | no option volume data | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.36, $171M company |

Upcoming events
The next earnings report is due on 26 Jan 2027, 82 days away - outside the window of a 30-45-day put sold today. The shares go ex-dividend on 13 Nov 2026 (0.1475 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
