Lumbee Guaranty Bank (LUMB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is LUMB undervalued?
Lumbee Guaranty Bank (LUMB) closed at 13.80 on 16 Oct 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 14.01 (1.5% below fair value). 5 of the 9 models that produced a number sit above the price, 4 below - the market and our models roughly agree. With little margin of safety either way, the case for or against the stock rests on the quality numbers and the option premium rather than on price.
The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 5.36 while 10 Cap gives 23.97. 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 LUMB under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for LUMB
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 10.71 | -22% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 21.98 | +59% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 22.17 | +61% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 5.50 | -60% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 5.36 | -61% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 23.97 | +74% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 15.08 | +9% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 6.03 | -56% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 15.27 | +11% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -156.53 | -1234% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: LUMB passes 3 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is 5.5 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 6.7%, ROE 8.0%, ROA 0.7% - with debt at 0.21 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 2.97% at a payout ratio of 0%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 3 / 9 | ROIC | 6.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.5 / 10 | ROE | 8.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.21 | ROA | 0.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 34: No options
LUMB has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (34 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $44M, with a beta of 0.26 - 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 | 13 / 25 | 1% margin of safety | |
| Health | 7 / 20 | Piotroski 3/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.5/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $44M cap, beta 0.26 |
