Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (LOAN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Real Estate · REIT - Mortgage · United States · High Yield Income
Is LOAN undervalued?
At 3.48 (close of 16 Oct 2026), LOAN trades 99% below the GLS average fair value of 553.75. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 7 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 0.9432 while DCF gives 4,939.04. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files LOAN under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 4,939.04 | +141827% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 5.93 | +70% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 7.33 | +111% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 1.98 | -43% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.9432 | -73% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 8.98 | +158% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 8.34 | +140% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
On financial health LOAN scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 5.1 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 8.4%, ROE 11.9%, ROA 8.2% - with debt at 0.41 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 12.9%.
The dividend yield is high at 12.79% (payout ratio 109%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. 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.
Institutional ownership scores 4/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 8.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.1 / 10 | ROE | 11.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.41 | ROA | 8.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 12.9% | Payout ratio | 109% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 68: Good
LOAN scores 68 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 65-79). The score blends the margin of safety (Value, 25/25), Piotroski health (16/20), the GLS moat (8/15), the option premium on offer (14/20) and how easily the stock trades (6/20). Stability (6/20) is the part holding the score back.
Implied volatility is 85% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (14 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 946 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 37k shares a day on a market cap of $40M, with a beta of 0.14 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 99% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.1/10 | |
| Premium | 14 / 20 | implied volatility 85% | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 37k shares/day, $40M cap, beta 0.14 |
