Lion Copper Corp. (LCGMD): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Basic Materials · Copper · United States · Value
Is LCGMD undervalued?
Lion Copper Corp. (LCGMD) closed at 4.17 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 14.14, which puts the price 71% below it. 6 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 DCF (0.0320) and GLS Growth (29.74). 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 LCGMD under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Quality and financial health
Lion Copper Corp. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of 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 2.7/10 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 high - ROIC 17.2%, ROE 18.7%, ROA 14.9% - with debt at 0.09 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 13.1%.
Lion Copper Corp. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 17.2% |

| GLS Moat | 2.7 / 10 | ROE | 18.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.09 | ROA | 14.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 13.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
