Himalaya Shipping Ltd. (HSHP): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Marine Shipping · Bermuda · High Yield Income
Is HSHP undervalued?
At 16.24 (close of 16 Oct 2026), HSHP trades 55% below the GLS average fair value of 35.94. That average comes from 9 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 Himalaya Shipping Ltd. 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 Lynch (4.47) and DCF (73.89). 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 HSHP under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 73.89 | +355% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 9.32 | -43% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 18.02 | +11% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 4.47 | -72% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 68.38 | +321% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 36.99 | +128% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 73.24 | +351% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Himalaya Shipping Ltd. 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 3.7/10 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 2.1%, ROE 10.9%, ROA 2.0% - with debt at 4.26 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 11.4%. Debt of 4.26 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.
The dividend yield is high at 11.21% (payout ratio 104%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Reportable 100% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 6/10, insider activity 3/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 2.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.7 / 10 | ROE | 10.9% |
| Debt / equity | 4.26 | ROA | 2.0% |

Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on Himalaya Shipping Ltd. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) 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 620k shares a day on a market cap of $766M, with a beta of 0.96; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.

Upcoming events
The next earnings report is due on 11 Nov 2026 (before the open), 26 days away; a 30-45-day put sold today would expire after it, which is worth weighing against the premium. The shares go ex-dividend on 16 Oct 2026 (0.2800 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
