Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima (EDN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is EDN undervalued?

At 20.72 (close of 16 Oct 2026), EDN trades 98% below the GLS average fair value of 860.56. That average comes from 6 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 Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.

There is a wide gap between EPV (39.24) and Graham Number (4,491.23). 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 EDN under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health

Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 4.0/10 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 moderate - ROIC 7.0%, ROE 10.8%, ROA 4.1% - with debt at 0.53 times equity and negative free cash flow.

Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.

Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 39: No options

No options are listed on Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.

Volume runs at 122k shares a day on a market cap of $1.0B, with a beta of 0.04 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 9 of 20.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.

Upcoming events

The next earnings report is due on 5 Nov 2026 (before the open), 20 days away; a 30-45-day put sold today would expire after it, which is worth weighing against the premium.
