Elmer Bancorp, Inc. (ELMA): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is ELMA undervalued?

At 26.00 (close of 5 Nov 2026), ELMA trades 52% below the GLS average fair value of 53.95. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 7 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 Elmer Bancorp, Inc. 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 DDM (8.83) and DCF (151.19). 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 ELMA, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 78, growth score 59, out of 100).

Nine valuation models for ELMA

Quality and financial health

Elmer Bancorp, Inc. scores only 4 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. On durability ELMA 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 8.5%, ROE 8.5%, ROA 0.8% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.

The dividend yield is 2.31% 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.

Wheel Score 32: No options

No options are listed on Elmer Bancorp, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 32, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.

Volume runs at 1k shares a day on a market cap of $30M, with a beta of 0.32 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
