Is HOOD undervalued?
HOOD closed at 103.99 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 46.61. Only 1 of the 7 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the Sunday Scan drops names like this at the "below fair value" rule.
The 7 models disagree widely: Payback Time gives 7.84 while GLS Growth gives 141.10. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files HOOD under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for HOOD
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 23.38 | -78% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 83.58 | -20% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 32.94 | -68% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 141.10 | +36% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 11.83 | -89% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 7.84 | -92% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 25.61 | -75% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | 8.14 | -92% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 138.60 | +33% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: HOOD passes 4 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 5.7 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 9.1%, ROE 20.6%, ROA 4.9% - with debt at 1.27 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 0.2%.
Robinhood Markets, 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 Transaction based revenues 84%, Other revenues 16% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 9/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 10/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 9.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.7 / 10 | ROE | 20.6% |
| Debt / equity | 1.27 | ROA | 4.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.2% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 9 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 10 / 10 |
Wheel Score 52: Fair
HOOD scores 52 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 0/25, Health 9/20, Moat 9/15, Premium 18/20, Stability 16/20. Value (0/25) is where the points are missing.
Implied volatility is 67% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (18 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. The option chain is deep: 868,182 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 21.1M shares a day on a market cap of $93.5B, with a beta of 2.35 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 16 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -123% margin of safety | |
| Health | 9 / 20 | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Moat | 9 / 15 | moat 5.7/10 | |
| Premium | 18 / 20 | implied volatility 67% | |
| Stability | 16 / 20 | 21.1M shares/day, $93.5B cap, beta 2.35 |
The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.
