HMH Holding Inc. Class A Common Stock (HMH): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is HMH undervalued?

At 15.40 (close of 5 Nov 2026), HMH trades 88% below the GLS average fair value of 131.05. That average comes from 8 models run on the latest filings, and 8 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 DCF (35.30) and GLS Growth (239.56). 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.

Ranked against every other company we cover, HMH is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 94, growth score 51, out of 100).

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 "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 1.5/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, 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 10.0%.

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.

Wheel Score 31: No options

No options are listed on HMH Holding Inc. Class A Common Stock in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 31, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.

Volume runs at 276k shares a day on a market cap of $688M, with a beta of 0.78 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
