Hadron Energy, Inc. (HDRN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Industrial - Machinery · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is HDRN undervalued?
HDRN has a margin of safety of 71%: the stock closed at 0.6720 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 2.36. 1 of the 1 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.
Only 1 of the nine models produced a value (DCF); the others need a dividend, positive free cash flow or positive book value the company does not have yet, so the average rests on a narrow base.
The nightly engine files HDRN 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.

| 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 |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: HDRN passes 2 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.1 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 thin or negative - ROIC 0.6%, ROE 0.6%, ROA 0.4% - with debt at 0.04 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Hadron Energy, Inc. 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 Fixed Price Contract 51%, Time and Materials Contract 49% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 2 / 9 | ROIC | 0.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.1 / 10 | ROE | 0.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.04 | ROA | 0.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -54.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
HDRN has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 214k shares a day on a market cap of $48M, with a beta of -0.54 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 8 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 71% margin of safety | |
| Health | 4 / 20 | Piotroski 2/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 4.1/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
