National Stock Yards Co. (NSYC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Specialty Business Services · United States · Blend
Is NSYC undervalued?
National Stock Yards Co. (NSYC) closed at 412.00 on 16 Oct 2026, 208% above the GLS average fair value of 133.86. 8 of the 8 models that produced a number value the shares below the current price. A gap this wide usually means the market is paying for growth or a story the trailing numbers do not show yet; the models work from filed results, not forecasts, so they are conservative by design.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (13.90) and 10 Cap (303.56). 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.

Quality and financial health
National Stock Yards Co. 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 Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 3.0/10 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 3.0%, ROE 3.4%, ROA 2.7% - with debt at 0.14 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.9%.
National Stock Yards Co. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 3.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.0 / 10 | ROE | 3.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.14 | ROA | 2.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 2.9% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 26: No options
No options are listed on National Stock Yards Co. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 26) 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 $18M, with a beta of -0.13 - 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 | -208% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 5 / 15 | moat 3.0/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $18M cap, beta -0.13 |
