Genius Sports Limited (GENI): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol GENI · Communication Services · Internet Content & Information · United Kingdom · Speculative
Is GENI undervalued?
At 7.01 (close of 5 Nov 2026), GENI 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 -0.65 and it pays no dividend), so the margin of safety is blank and the Wheel Score cannot be computed. Our scans leave the stock out at the first filter. What can be said from the nightly row is below.
The nightly engine files GENI under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for GENI
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 | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |
| GLS Growth | - | - | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year; no value tonight |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | - | - | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth; no value tonight |
| Zombie (liquidation) | 0.5376 | -92% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 10.44 | +49% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Genius Sports Limited scores only 2 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 3.3/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC -14.8%, ROE -15.4%, ROA -9.9% - with debt at 0.04 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Genius Sports Limited 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 Betting Technology Content And Services 70%, Media Technology Content And Services 22%, Sports Technology And Services 8% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 15 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 2 / 9 | ROIC | -14.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.3 / 10 | ROE | -15.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.04 | ROA | -9.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -3.5% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 20: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 20 Genius Sports Limited sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 2, a real business, not a gamble - speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score); and filter 3, below fair value - trades right at our fair value; and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 2/9 (under 6); and filter 6, no serious red flags - Red Flags score 40 (under 60); Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 79% 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. The option chain is deep: 77,266 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 10.7M shares a day on a market cap of $1.9B, with a beta of 1.91 - 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 | Fails | speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score) |
| 3 | Below fair value | Fails | trades right at our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 2/9 (under 6) |
| 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 | Fails | Red Flags score 40 (under 60) |
| 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 | Weak | 0% below fair value | |
| Premium | Good | implied volatility 79% | |
| Moat | Weak | moat 3.3/10 | |
| Health | Weak | Piotroski 2/9 | |
| Red Flags | Weak | Red Flags score 40/100 | |
| Option trading | Good | 764 contracts a day, 77,266 open interest | |
| Stability | Weak | beta 1.91, $1.9B company |
