Ticker symbol GPRK · Energy · Oil & Gas Exploration & Production · Colombia · Value
Is GPRK undervalued?
GeoPark Limited (GPRK) closed at 9.43 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 21.78, which puts the price 57% below it. 7 of the 9 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.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 1.56 while Graham Growth gives 63.30. 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, GPRK is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 70, growth score 10, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for GPRK
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 | 24.29 | +158% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 11.82 | +25% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 63.30 | +571% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 27.66 | +193% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 3.24 | -66% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 34.32 | +264% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 17.56 | +86% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 1.56 | -83% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 12.30 | +30% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -8.86 | -194% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 13.50 | +43% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - GPRK passes 5 of the nine Piotroski tests, which falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is 6.0 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 moderate - ROIC 6.0%, ROE 20.2%, ROA 4.8% - with debt at 2.36 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.7%. Debt of 2.36 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.
The dividend yield is 1.12% with a payout ratio of 17% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business.
Institutional ownership scores 3/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 21 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 6.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.0 / 10 | ROE | 20.2% |
| Debt / equity | 2.36 | ROA | 4.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.7% | Payout ratio | 17% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 51: Fair
GPRK scores 51 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-69) because it fails filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 5/9 (under 6); and filter 5, can repay its debt - 36.4 years to repay its debt (over 3); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $612M (under $1.0B). A stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to reach 70. Otherwise the parts read: value strong, premium strong, moat good, health fair, red flags strong, option trading weak, stability fair.
Implied volatility is 48% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% sweet spot the Wheel Score rewards most: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is thin - 1,545 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 3.0M shares a day on a market cap of $612M, with a beta of 0.39 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| 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 | Fails | Piotroski 5/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Fails | 36.4 years to repay its debt (over 3) |
| 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 | Fails | market cap $612M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 57% below fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 48% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.0/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 100/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 409 contracts a day, 1,545 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.39, $612M company |
