JBT Marel Corporation (JBTM): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Industrial - Machinery · United States · High Growth
Is JBTM undervalued?
JBTM closed at 105.93 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 113.13 - 6.4% below fair value, which our screens read as "fairly priced". 4 of 9 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.
There is a wide gap between DDM (5.89) and Payback Time (235.61). 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 JBTM under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

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
JBT Marel 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. On durability JBTM scores 5.2/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC -0.8%, ROE -1.1%, ROA -0.6% - with debt at 0.42 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 5.6%.
The dividend yield is 0.38% with a payout ratio of 11% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from JBT 100% (quarter Q2 FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | -0.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.2 / 10 | ROE | -1.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.42 | ROA | -0.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 5.6% | Payout ratio | 11% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 71: Good
With a Wheel Score of 71 - the Good band - JBT Marel Corporation clears the Sunday Scan's "70 or higher" rule. The parts: Value 15/25, Health 13/20, Moat 8/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 14/20; Moat (8/15) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 41% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 3,419 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 341k shares a day on a market cap of $5.5B, with a beta of 0.94; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 14 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 15 / 25 | 6% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.2/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 41% | |
| Stability | 14 / 20 | 341k shares/day, $5.5B cap, beta 0.94 |
