First Internet Bancorp (INBK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol INBK · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is INBK undervalued?
INBK has a margin of safety of 65%: the stock closed at 27.13 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 76.57. 5 of the 8 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
The 8 models disagree widely: DDM gives 3.53 while 10 Cap gives 314.52. 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, INBK is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 73, growth score 24, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for INBK
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 | 39.60 | +46% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 98.20 | +262% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 42.92 | +58% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 7.51 | -72% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 314.52 | +1059% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 87.18 | +221% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 3.53 | -87% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 19.07 | -30% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -470.79 | -1835% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 29.50 | +9% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health INBK scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.8 out of 10: returns on capital, margins or the balance sheet have not shown a lasting edge yet - often a young company, a thin-margin business or one that has only recently turned profitable.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -4.9%, ROE -9.8%, ROA -0.6% - with debt at 0.99 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 64.6%.
The dividend yield is 0.88% with a payout ratio of 14% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Loan Servicing 72%, Bank Servicing 28% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 9/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | -4.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.8 / 10 | ROE | -9.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.99 | ROA | -0.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 64.6% | Payout ratio | 14% |
| Institutions | 9 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 47: Weak
INBK scores 47 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (249 open interest, 230 a day); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $237M (under $1.0B), and the parts are thin too - value strong, premium strong, moat weak, health good, red flags strong, option trading weak, stability fair. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 61% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% top of the sweet spot. It still passes the 25-80% filter, but the Wheel Score rewards it less because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 249 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 40k shares a day on a market cap of $237M, with a beta of 0.88; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | options too quiet (249 open interest, 230 a day) |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $237M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 65% below fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 61% | |
| Moat | Weak | moat 2.8/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 90/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 230 contracts a day, 249 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.88, $237M company |
