Fluence Energy, Inc. (FLNC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Utilities · Renewable Utilities · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is FLNC undervalued?
At 6.43 (close of 16 Oct 2026), FLNC has no GLS fair value: every one of the nine models needs a positive input (the company lost money over the last twelve months, EPS -0.59 and it pays no dividend), so the margin of safety is blank and the Wheel Score cannot be computed. Our screens leave the stock out at the first rule. What can be said from the nightly row is below.
The nightly engine files FLNC 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 FLNC
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
Fluence Energy, Inc. scores only 0 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 1.0/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC -5.9%, ROE -11.2%, ROA -2.0% - with debt at 0.91 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Fluence Energy, Inc. 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 Product 97%, Service 3% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 0 / 9 | ROIC | -5.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.0 / 10 | ROE | -11.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.91 | ROA | -2.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -10.2% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 39 Fluence Energy, Inc. sits in the Weak band. The parts - Value 13/25, Health 0/20, Moat 2/15, Premium 14/20, Stability 11/20 - show where: Health (0/20) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 84% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (14 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. The option chain is deep: 209,337 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 6.6M shares a day on a market cap of $1.3B, with a beta of 2.77 - 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 11 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 13 / 25 | 0% margin of safety | |
| Health | 0 / 20 | Piotroski 0/9 | |
| Moat | 2 / 15 | moat 1.0/10 | |
| Premium | 14 / 20 | implied volatility 84% | |
| Stability | 11 / 20 | 6.6M shares/day, $1.3B cap, beta 2.77 |
