Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (MPB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol MPB · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is MPB undervalued?
Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (MPB) closed at 35.03 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 46.59, so the price sits 25% below it. 4 of the 8 models value the shares above the current price. A margin of safety between 10% and 30% is where most of the Sunday Scan candidates come from.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (3.33) and 10 Cap (91.90). 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, MPB is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 64, growth score 26, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for MPB
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.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 47.56 | +36% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 87.90 | +151% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 32.96 | -6% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 3.33 | -90% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 91.90 | +162% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 63.79 | +82% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 13.98 | -60% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 31.35 | -11% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -206.75 | -690% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. On durability MPB scores 6.1/10 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 moderate - ROIC 6.4%, ROE 6.9%, ROA 0.9% - with debt at 0.07 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 10.4%.
The dividend yield is 2.71% at a payout ratio of 30%; 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. Revenue comes mainly from Fiduciary and Trust 57%, Debit Card 17%, Mortgage Banking 16% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 7/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 6.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.1 / 10 | ROE | 6.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.07 | ROA | 0.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 10.4% | Payout ratio | 30% |
| Institutions | 7 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 47: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 47 Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (238 open interest, 71 a day); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $887M (under $1.0B); Option trading (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 47% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% sweet spot the Wheel Score rewards most: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is thin - 238 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 181k shares a day on a market cap of $887M, with a beta of 0.50 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | options too quiet (238 open interest, 71 a day) |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 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 | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $887M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 25% below fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 47% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.1/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Good | Red Flags score 82/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 71 contracts a day, 238 open interest | |
