Flotek Industries, Inc. (FTK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol FTK · Energy · Oil & Gas Equipment & Services · United States · Growth
Is FTK undervalued?
FTK closed at 24.72 on 5 Nov 2026, which is 15% above the GLS average fair value of 21.46 from 5 models. 3 of them value the shares below today's price. Our scans read that as "no margin of safety": the stock is not a value candidate at this price, whatever the quality numbers say.
There is a wide gap between Graham Number (8.74) and GLS Growth (52.38). 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, FTK is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 21, growth score 85, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for FTK
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 8.74 | -65% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 26.68 | +8% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 10.01 | -60% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 52.38 | +112% | 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 |

Quality and financial health
Flotek Industries, 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. A GLS Moat score of 4.1/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 18.7%, ROE 27.0%, ROA 13.9% - with debt at 0.44 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Flotek Industries, 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 85%, Rental 13%, Service 3% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 4/10, insider activity 4/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 11 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 18.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.1 / 10 | ROE | 27.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.44 | ROA | 13.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -1.5% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 4 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 24: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 24 Flotek Industries, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 3, below fair value - trades 15% above our fair value; and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 4/9 (under 6); and filter 5, can repay its debt - 5.5 years to repay its debt (over 3); and filter 7, a premium worth selling - implied volatility 83% (over 80%); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $894M (under $1.0B); Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 83%, 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 - 1,303 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 847k shares a day on a market cap of $894M, with a beta of 1.49 - 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 rates that weak.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded 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 15% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Fails | 5.5 years to repay its debt (over 3) |
| 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 83% (over 80%) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $894M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |

| Premium | Fair | implied volatility 83% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.1/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Red Flags | Good | Red Flags score 82/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 391 contracts a day, 1,303 open interest | |
