IT Tech Packaging, Inc. (ITP): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol ITP · Basic Materials · Paper, Lumber & Forest Products · China · Speculative
Is ITP undervalued?
IT Tech Packaging, Inc. (ITP) closed at 0.1260 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 1 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 5.82, which puts the price 98% below it. 1 of the 1 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.
The average is built from just 1 models (10 Cap) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
The nightly engine files ITP under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for ITP
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.

Quality and financial health
IT Tech Packaging, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. 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. A GLS Moat score of 1.6/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -5.9%, ROE -6.3%, ROA -5.5% - with debt at 0.06 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 132.9%.
IT Tech Packaging, 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 Enterprisewide Consolidated 50%, Dongfang Paper 49%, Hebei Tengsheng 1% (quarter Q2 FY2022).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | -5.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.6 / 10 | ROE | -6.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.06 | ROA | -5.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 132.9% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 29: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 29 IT Tech Packaging, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 2, a real business, not a gamble - speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score); and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 5/9 (under 6); and filter 7, a premium worth selling - implied volatility 402% (over 80%); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $2M (under $1.0B); and filter 9, not a penny stock - price 0.13 (under $5); Premium (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 402%, above the 80% ceiling of the Wheel Trade Filter on premium. The premium looks generous, but moves of that size can blow through any strike. Chain open interest is 3,665 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 32k shares a day on a market cap of $2M, with a beta of -0.27 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded a day |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Fails | speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score) |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 5/9 (under 6) |
| 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 | Fails | implied volatility 402% (over 80%) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $2M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 0.13 (under $5) |
