5E Advanced Materials Inc. (FEAM): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Basic Materials · Chemicals - Specialty · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is FEAM undervalued?
At 3.16 (close of 16 Oct 2026), FEAM trades 389% over the GLS average fair value of 0.6466, with 0 of 1 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.
The average is built from just 1 models (DCF) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
The nightly engine files FEAM under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for FEAM
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.

Quality and financial health
5E Advanced Materials Inc. scores only 3 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. A GLS Moat score of 2.1/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC -66.9%, ROE -66.9%, ROA -63.1% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
5E Advanced Materials Inc. 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 7/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 15 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 3 / 9 | ROIC | -66.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.1 / 10 | ROE | -66.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | -63.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -20.5% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 7 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 19: No options
No options are listed on 5E Advanced Materials Inc. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 19) 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 763k shares a day on a market cap of $132M, with a beta of 1.81 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 9 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -389% margin of safety | |
| Health | 7 / 20 | Piotroski 3/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.1/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 9 / 20 | 763k shares/day, $132M cap, beta 1.81 |
