Liberty Capital Corporation (GLIBK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Communication Services · Telecommunications Services · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is GLIBK undervalued?
GLIBK closed at 20.60 on 16 Oct 2026, which is 15% above the GLS average fair value of 17.84 from 1 models. 1 of them value the shares below today's price. Our screens read that as "no margin of safety": the stock is not a value candidate at this price, whatever the quality numbers say.
The average is built from just 1 models (10 Cap) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
The nightly engine files GLIBK 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.
Nine valuation models for GLIBK
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.

Quality and financial health
Liberty Capital Corporation 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. A GLS Moat score of 1.5/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC -10.9%, ROE -18.3%, ROA -9.1% - with debt at 0.68 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 6.0%.
Liberty Capital Corporation 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 Lease, Grant and Revenue from Subsidies 100% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | -10.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.5 / 10 | ROE | -18.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.68 | ROA | -9.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 6.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 45: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 45 Liberty Capital Corporation sits in the Weak band, capped at 45 because the engine files it as Speculative / Distressed. The parts - Value 6/25, Health 11/20, Moat 2/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 12/20 - show where: Moat (2/15) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 55% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 25,044 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 424k shares a day on a market cap of $823M, with a beta of -1.08 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 6 / 25 | -15% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 2 / 15 | moat 1.5/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 55% | |
| Stability | 12 / 20 | 424k shares/day, $823M cap, beta -1.08 |
