Gulfport Energy Corp (GPOR): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Energy · Oil & Gas Exploration & Production · United States · Value
Is GPOR undervalued?
GPOR has a margin of safety of 52%: the stock closed at 163.75 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 342.43. 6 of the 8 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our screens treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
The 8 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 158.05 while Graham Growth gives 697.16. 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.
The nightly engine files GPOR under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

| Lynch | 238.53 | +46% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - GPOR passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.3 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 16.3%, ROE 23.3%, ROA 14.1% - with debt at 0.43 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 8.6%.
Gulfport Energy Corp 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 Natural Gas, Production 76%, Oil and Condensate 13%, Natural gas liquid sales 12% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 16.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.3 / 10 | ROE | 23.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.43 | ROA | 14.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 8.6% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 76: Good
GPOR scores 76 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 65-79). The score blends the margin of safety (Value, 25/25), Piotroski health (13/20), the GLS moat (6/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (12/20). Moat (6/15) is the part holding the score back.
Implied volatility is 35% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: some premium, but under the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for (20 of 20 points). Chain open interest is 2,068 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 210k shares a day on a market cap of $2.9B, with a beta of 0.42 - 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 | 25 / 25 | 52% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 4.3/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 35% | |
| Stability | 12 / 20 | 210k shares/day, $2.9B cap, beta 0.42 |
