Legacy Education Inc. (LGCY): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol LGCY · Consumer Defensive · Education & Training Services · United States · Growth
Is LGCY undervalued?
LGCY has a margin of safety of 44%: the stock closed at 9.22 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 16.59. 5 of the 8 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, LGCY is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 56, growth score 84, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for LGCY
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
Legacy Education Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. 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 6.0/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 13.4%, ROE 17.3%, ROA 11.6% - with debt at 0.30 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.3%.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.0 / 10 | ROE | 17.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.30 | ROA | 11.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 2.3% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 6 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 33: No options
No options are listed on Legacy Education Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 33, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 28k shares a day on a market cap of $118M, with a beta of 1.16; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $118M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
