Ramaco Resources, Inc. (METCB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol METCB · Energy · Coal · United States · Class B common stock · Speculative
METCB is Ramaco Resources, Inc.'s Class B common stock. The company also lists METC (Class A common stock). The classes own the same business, share the same earnings report and trade within a few cents of each other; what differs is mainly the vote each share carries - the company's annual report sets out the voting rights.
Is METCB undervalued?
At 3.98 (close of 5 Nov 2026), METCB trades 312% over the GLS average fair value of 0.9654, with 0 of 2 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.
The average is built from just 2 models (DCF, DDM) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
The nightly engine files METCB under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for METCB
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.

| Graham Number | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Ramaco Resources, Inc. scores only 4 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 2.7/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -5.4%, ROE -10.6%, ROA -4.5% - with debt at 0.97 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 1.28% with a payout ratio of 0% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Export Revenues 72%, Domestic Coal Revenues 28% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | -5.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.7 / 10 | ROE | -10.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.97 | ROA | -4.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -44.4% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 14: No options
No options are listed on Ramaco Resources, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 14, 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 90k shares a day on a market cap of $340M, with a beta of 1.15; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |

| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Fails | speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score) |
| 3 | Below fair value | Fails | trades 312% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Fails | debt with no positive cash flow to repay 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 $340M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 3.98 (under $5) |
