NewtekOne, Inc. 8.00% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2028 (NEWTI): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is NEWTI undervalued?

NewtekOne, Inc. 8.00% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2028 (NEWTI) closed at 24.93 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 7 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 124.94, which puts the price 80% below it. 6 of the 7 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.

There is a wide gap between DDM (11.18) and GLS Growth (299.98). 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 NEWTI under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health

NewtekOne, Inc. 8.00% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2028 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 4.4/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC 5.0%, ROE 15.2%, ROA 2.2% - with debt at 2.07 times equity and negative free cash flow. Debt of 2.07 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.

The dividend yield is high at 6.95% (payout ratio 47%). 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 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 39: No options

No options are listed on NewtekOne, Inc. 8.00% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2028 in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) 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 2k shares a day on a market cap of $316M, with a beta of 1.32 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.
