Hanover Foods Corporation (HNFSB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Packaged Foods · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is HNFSB undervalued?
Hanover Foods Corporation (HNFSB) closed at 60.10 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 1,405.28, which puts the price 96% below it. 6 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.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (2.15) and DCF (11,463.68). 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 HNFSB 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.
Nine valuation models for HNFSB
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 | 11,463.68 | +18974% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 186.09 | +210% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 146.81 | +144% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 36.40 | -39% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 2.15 | -96% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 465.40 | +674% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 229.65 | +282% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 16.19 | -73% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |

Quality and financial health
Hanover Foods Corporation scores only 0 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 0.0/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC 3.7%, ROE 5.4%, ROA 3.0% - with debt at 0.44 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 79.2%.
The dividend yield is 1.83% at a payout ratio of 13%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 0 / 9 | ROIC | 3.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 0.0 / 10 | ROE | 5.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.44 | ROA | 3.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 79.2% | Payout ratio | 13% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 31: No options
No options are listed on Hanover Foods Corporation in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 31) 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 1k shares a day on a market cap of $13M, with a beta of 0.01 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 96% margin of safety | |
| Health | 0 / 20 | Piotroski 0/9 | |
| Moat | 0 / 15 | moat 0.0/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 1k shares/day, $13M cap, beta 0.01 |
