HMH Holding Inc. Class A Common Stock (HMH): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Energy · Oil & Gas Equipment & Services · United States · Blend
Is HMH undervalued?
At 17.34 (close of 16 Oct 2026), HMH trades 58% below the GLS average fair value of 40.96. That average comes from 8 models run on the latest filings, and 6 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns HMH Holding Inc. Class A Common Stock the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
There is a wide gap between Graham Number (9.75) and Payback Time (87.46). 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.

Quality and financial health
HMH Holding Inc. Class A Common Stock scores 8 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. 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 4.2%, ROE 6.5%, ROA 3.3% - with debt at 0.56 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 13.2%.
HMH Holding Inc. Class A Common Stock pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 3/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 4.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.5 / 10 | ROE | 6.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.56 | ROA | 3.3% |
