McRae Industries, Inc. (MCRAB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Cyclical · Apparel - Footwear & Accessories · United States · Defensive
Is MCRAB undervalued?
At 50.00 (close of 16 Oct 2026), MCRAB trades 44% over the GLS average fair value of 34.72, with 1 of 9 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.
There is a wide gap between Lynch (8.47) and DCF (92.84). 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 MCRAB under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.

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.

| Lynch | 8.47 | -83% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 28.46 | -43% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 43.93 | -12% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 22.03 | -56% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
McRae Industries, Inc. 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 4.1/10 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 moderate - ROIC 7.3%, ROE 7.5%, ROA 6.9% - with debt at 0.02 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 1.7%.
The dividend yield is 1.68% at a payout ratio of 40%; 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 | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 7.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.1 / 10 | ROE | 7.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.02 | ROA | 6.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 1.7% | Payout ratio | 40% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 23: No options
No options are listed on McRae Industries, Inc. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 23) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $113M, with a beta of 0.06 - 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 | 0 / 25 | -44% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 4.1/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $113M cap, beta 0.06 |
