Gencor Industries, Inc. (GENC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Industrial - Machinery · United States · Value
Is GENC undervalued?
Gencor Industries, Inc. (GENC) closed at 17.73 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 33.92, which puts the price 48% below it. 6 of the 8 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
There is a wide gap between Lynch (9.16) and Payback Time (66.32). 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 GENC under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Quality and financial health
Gencor Industries, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. On durability GENC scores 5.2/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 7.4%, ROE 7.4%, ROA 7.0% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.4%.
Gencor 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 Parts and Component Sales 79%, Freight Revenue 19%, Other Revenues 2% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 6/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 7.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.2 / 10 | ROE | 7.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 7.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.4% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 6 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 68: Good
With a Wheel Score of 68 - the Good band - Gencor Industries, Inc. falls just short of the Sunday Scan's "70 or higher" rule. The parts: Value 25/25, Health 11/20, Moat 8/15, Premium 18/20, Stability 6/20; Stability (6/20) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 69% 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 (18 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 279 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 45k shares a day on a market cap of $260M, with a beta of 0.53 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 48% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.2/10 | |
| Premium | 18 / 20 | implied volatility 69% | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 45k shares/day, $260M cap, beta 0.53 |
