Flotek Industries, Inc. (FTK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Energy · Oil & Gas Equipment & Services · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is FTK undervalued?
FTK closed at 24.73 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 26.06 - 5.1% below fair value, which our screens read as "fairly priced". 2 of 5 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.
There is a wide gap between Graham Number (9.19) and GLS Growth (64.35). 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.
The nightly engine files FTK 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.

Quality and financial health
Flotek Industries, 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 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 | 3 / 9 | ROIC | 18.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.1 / 10 | ROE | 27.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.44 | ROA | 13.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -0.6% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 4 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 45: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 45 Flotek Industries, Inc. sits in the Weak band, capped at 45 because the engine files it as Speculative / Distressed. The parts - Value 15/25, Health 7/20, Moat 3/15, Premium 12/20, Stability 10/20 - show where: Moat (3/15) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 90% 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 (12 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 3,286 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 352k shares a day on a market cap of $895M, with a beta of 1.42 - 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 10 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 15 / 25 | 5% margin of safety | |
| Health | 7 / 20 | Piotroski 3/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.1/10 | |
| Premium | 12 / 20 | implied volatility 90% | |
| Stability | 10 / 20 | 352k shares/day, $895M cap, beta 1.42 |
