Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · High Yield Income
Is HBANL undervalued?
HBANL closed at 24.82 on 16 Oct 2026, which is 12% above the GLS average fair value of 22.07 from 9 models. 6 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.
There is a wide gap between DCF (0.9267) and Graham Growth (51.51). 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 HBANL under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

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.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 0.9267 | -96% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 21.56 | -13% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |

| Lynch | 17.87 | -28% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 6.78 | -73% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 39.01 | +57% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |

Quality and financial health
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes 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 4.0/10 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 moderate - ROIC 5.2%, ROE 9.1%, ROA 1.0% - with debt at 0.76 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.5%.
The dividend yield is high at 4.04% (payout ratio 48%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Consumer & Regional Banking 66%, Commercial Banking 34% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 5.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.0 / 10 | ROE | 9.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.76 | ROA | 1.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.5% | Payout ratio | 48% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on Huntington Bancshares Incorporated in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 43k shares a day on a market cap of $34.2B, with a beta of 0.95; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 7 / 25 | -12% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 4.0/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 12 / 20 | 43k shares/day, $34.2B cap, beta 0.95 |
