GigaCloud Technology Inc. (GCT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol GCT · Technology · Software - Infrastructure · United States · Class A ordinary shares · Growth
GCT is GigaCloud Technology Inc.'s Class A ordinary shares. The classes own the same business, share the same earnings report and trade within a few cents of each other; what differs is mainly the vote each share carries - the company's annual report sets out the voting rights.
Is GCT undervalued?
At 57.88 (close of 5 Nov 2026), GCT trades 45% below the GLS average fair value of 106.15. That average comes from 8 models run on the latest filings, and 4 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 GigaCloud Technology Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 8 models disagree widely: Graham Number gives 37.49 while GLS Growth gives 261.65. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
Ranked against every other company we cover, GCT is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 49, growth score 74, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for GCT
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 55.94 | -3% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 37.49 | -35% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 126.17 | +118% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 46.36 | -20% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 261.65 | +352% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 103.24 | +78% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 170.87 | +195% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
On financial health GCT scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 7.2 out of 10: a record that is solid on some of the four parts the score weighs (returns on capital, pricing power, lasting growth, balance sheet) and weaker on others.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 14.4%, ROE 28.3%, ROA 11.4% - with debt at 0.97 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 7.6%.
GigaCloud Technology 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 68%, Service 28%, Packaging Service 2% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 8/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 14.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.2 / 10 | ROE | 28.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.97 | ROA | 11.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 7.6% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 8 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 80: Good
GCT scores 80 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 70-84): it passes all 9 Wheel Trade Filters. How it ranks: value strong, premium good, moat good, health good, red flags strong, option trading weak, stability weak; Option trading (weak) holds it back.
Implied volatility is 71% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% top of the sweet spot. It still passes the 25-80% filter, but the Wheel Score rewards it less because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 12,470 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 575k shares a day on a market cap of $2.1B, with a beta of 1.61 - 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 | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 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 | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 45% below fair value | |
| Premium | Good | implied volatility 71% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 7.2/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 95/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 458 contracts a day, 12,470 open interest | |
| Stability | Weak | beta 1.61, $2.1B company |
