Legacy Education Inc. (LGCY): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Education & Training Services · United States · High Growth
Is LGCY undervalued?
LGCY has a margin of safety of 37%: the stock closed at 10.35 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 16.51. 5 of the 8 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our screens treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
There is a wide gap between EPV (8.06) and GLS Growth (44.41). 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 LGCY under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health
Legacy Education Inc. 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 LGCY scores 6.6/10 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 high - ROIC 117.5%, ROE 151.7%, ROA 101.9% - with debt at 0.29 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.0%.
Legacy Education 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 Oil Sales 77%, Natural Gas Sales 20%, Natural Gas Liquids Sales 3% (quarter Q2 FY2020).
Institutional ownership scores 6/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
