Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · High Yield Income
Is JUVF undervalued?
Juniata Valley Financial Corp. (JUVF) closed at 15.60 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 26.65, which puts the price 41% below it. 6 of the 9 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 DCF (6.80) and Payback Time (60.39). 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 JUVF under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
Juniata Valley Financial Corp. scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. On durability JUVF scores 5.9/10 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 moderate - ROIC 7.4%, ROE 13.9%, ROA 0.9% - with debt at 0.88 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 15.7%.
The dividend yield is high at 5.64% (payout ratio 47%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Debit Card 38%, Bank Servicing 35%, Fees Derived From Loan Activity 14% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 7.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.9 / 10 | ROE | 13.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.88 | ROA | 0.9% |

Wheel Score 39: No options
