Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (EGBN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol EGBN · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is EGBN undervalued?
EGBN closed at 34.40 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 33.18 - 3.7% above fair value, which our scans read as "fairly priced". 3 of 8 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.
The 8 models disagree widely: DDM gives 0.5886 while Graham Growth gives 100.29. 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, EGBN is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 52, growth score 13, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for EGBN
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 | 34.09 | -1% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 38.72 | +13% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 100.29 | +192% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 43.83 | +27% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 5.13 | -85% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | 23.29 | -32% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 0.5886 | -98% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 19.48 | -43% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -261.40 | -860% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 37.00 | +8% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: EGBN 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 5.4 out of 10: a record that is solid on some of the four parts the score weighs (returns on capital, pricing power, lasting growth, balance sheet) and weaker on others.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -10.2%, ROE -11.2%, ROA -1.2% - with debt at 0.10 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.5%.
The dividend yield is 0.12% with a payout ratio of 2% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business.
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | -10.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.4 / 10 | ROE | -11.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.10 | ROA | -1.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 3.5% | Payout ratio | 2% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 32: Weak
EGBN scores 32 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (462 open interest, 112 a day); and filter 3, below fair value - trades 4% above our fair value; and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 4/9 (under 6), and the parts are thin too - value weak, premium strong, moat fair, health fair, red flags good, option trading weak, stability fair. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 47% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% sweet spot the Wheel Score rewards most: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is thin - 462 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 397k shares a day on a market cap of $1.0B, with a beta of 0.97; 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 (462 open interest, 112 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 | Fails | trades 4% above our fair value |
| 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 | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 4% above fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 47% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 5.4/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Red Flags | Good | Red Flags score 80/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 112 contracts a day, 462 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.97, $1.0B company |
