eGain Corporation (EGAN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol EGAN · Technology · Software - Application · United States · Blend
Is EGAN undervalued?
At 6.18 (close of 5 Nov 2026), EGAN trades 57% below the GLS average fair value of 14.38. That average comes from 8 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 eGain Corporation 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 (3.64) and Payback Time (30.04). 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for EGAN, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 54, growth score 59, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for EGAN
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 12.83 | +108% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 4.79 | -22% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 18.76 | +203% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 8.20 | +33% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 20.07 | +225% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 16.73 | +171% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 30.04 | +386% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 3.64 | -41% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |

Quality and financial health
eGain Corporation scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. On durability EGAN scores 6.0/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 10.2%, ROE 10.5%, ROA 6.0% - with debt at 0.03 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 13.1%.
eGain Corporation pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from License 93%, Technology Service 7% (quarter Q4 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 7/10, insider activity 3/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 10.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.0 / 10 | ROE | 10.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.03 | ROA | 6.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 13.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 7 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 3 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 39 eGain Corporation sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (373 open interest, 41 a day); and filter 7, a premium worth selling - implied volatility 90% (over 80%); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $156M (under $1.0B); Option trading (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 90%, above the 80% ceiling of the Wheel Trade Filter on premium. The premium looks generous, but moves of that size can blow through any strike. Chain open interest is thin - 373 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 115k shares a day on a market cap of $156M, with a beta of 0.83; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | options too quiet (373 open interest, 41 a day) |
| 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 | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 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 | implied volatility 90% (over 80%) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $156M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 57% below fair value | |
| Premium | Fair | implied volatility 90% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.0/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Weak | Red Flags score 60/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 41 contracts a day, 373 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.83, $156M company |
