Janel Corporation (JANL): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Integrated Freight & Logistics · United States · High Growth
Is JANL undervalued?
Janel Corporation (JANL) closed at 50.00 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 271.25, which puts the price 82% below it. 8 of the 8 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.
There is a wide gap between Graham Number (50.70) and 10 Cap (783.89). 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 JANL under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

| 10 Cap | 783.89 | +1468% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |

Quality and financial health
Janel Corporation 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. A GLS Moat score of 4.8/10 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 moderate - ROIC 11.0%, ROE 21.0%, ROA 3.2% - with debt at 0.90 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 76.1%.
Janel Corporation 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 Logistics 100% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 11.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.8 / 10 | ROE | 21.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.90 | ROA | 3.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 76.1% | Payout ratio | 28% |

Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on Janel Corporation 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 0k shares a day on a market cap of $59M, with a beta of -0.36 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 82% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 7 / 15 | moat 4.8/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $59M cap, beta -0.36 |
