Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. (IDR): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Basic Materials · Gold · United States · High Growth
Is IDR undervalued?
At 21.46 (close of 16 Oct 2026), IDR trades 11% under the GLS average fair value of 24.06. 1 of the 6 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS screen; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
There is a wide gap between Lynch (1.03) and GLS Growth (86.31). 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 IDR under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for IDR
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.

Quality and financial health
Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. On durability IDR scores 5.0/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 15.1%, ROE 15.5%, ROA 14.4% - with debt at 0.02 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Idaho Strategic Resources, 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 Gold 100%, Silver 1% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 6/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 15.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.0 / 10 | ROE | 15.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.02 | ROA | 14.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -0.4% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 6 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 65: Good
With a Wheel Score of 65 - the Good band - Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. falls just short of the Sunday Scan's "70 or higher" rule. The parts: Value 17/25, Health 13/20, Moat 8/15, Premium 17/20, Stability 10/20; Stability (10/20) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 73% 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 (17 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 8,011 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 563k shares a day on a market cap of $340M, with a beta of 1.31 - 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 10 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 17 / 25 | 11% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.0/10 | |
| Premium | 17 / 20 | implied volatility 73% | |
| Stability | 10 / 20 | 563k shares/day, $340M cap, beta 1.31 |
