NWPX Infrastructure, Inc. (NWPX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol NWPX · Basic Materials · Construction Materials · United States · Blend
Is NWPX undervalued?
At 91.93 (close of 5 Nov 2026), NWPX trades 23% under the GLS average fair value of 119.18. 3 of the 8 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS scan; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
There is a wide gap between Lynch (22.20) and Payback Time (274.21). 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, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for NWPX, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 47, growth score 54, out of 100).

Quality and financial health
NWPX Infrastructure, Inc. scores 8 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 NWPX scores 5.7/10 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 7.1%, ROE 9.0%, ROA 6.1% - with debt at 0.26 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.8%.
NWPX Infrastructure, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Precast Infrastructure and Engineered S… 100% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 7.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.7 / 10 | ROE | 9.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.26 | ROA | 6.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.8% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 47: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 47 NWPX Infrastructure, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (312 open interest, 74 a day); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $885M (under $1.0B); Option trading (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 41% 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 - 312 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 164k shares a day on a market cap of $885M, with a beta of 1.14; 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 (312 open interest, 74 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 $885M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Good | 23% below fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 41% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 5.7/10 | |
| Health | Strong | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Red Flags | Good | Red Flags score 85/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 74 contracts a day, 312 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 1.14, $885M company |
