OFG Bancorp (OFG): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Banks - Regional · Puerto Rico · Defensive
Is OFG undervalued?
OFG closed at 52.13 on 16 Oct 2026, 22% below the GLS average fair value of 66.55 from 9 models (7 of them above the price). That is a moderate margin of safety: the stock passes the "below fair value" rule of the Sunday Scan, and the Wheel Score gives it 22 of the 25 Value points.
The 9 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 17.16 while Payback Time gives 121.20. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files OFG under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.
Nine valuation models for OFG
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 61.12 | +17% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 62.52 | +20% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 76.92 | +48% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 17.16 | -67% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 68.17 | +31% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 114.05 | +119% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 121.20 | +132% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 19.86 | -62% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 57.96 | +11% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -233.12 | -547% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 56.33 | +8% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health OFG scores 8/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 6.6 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 10.4%, ROE 14.8%, ROA 1.6% - with debt at 0.42 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.2%.
The dividend yield is 2.59% at a payout ratio of 25%; 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 Banking 50%, Major 50% (quarter Q3 FY2018).
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 | 10.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.6 / 10 | ROE | 14.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.42 | ROA | 1.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.2% | Payout ratio | 25% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 76: Good
OFG scores 76 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 65-79). The score blends the margin of safety (Value, 22/25), Piotroski health (18/20), the GLS moat (10/15), the option premium on offer (13/20) and how easily the stock trades (13/20). Premium (13/20) is the part holding the score back.
Implied volatility is 28% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: some premium, but under the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for (13 of 20 points). Chain open interest is thin - 748 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 426k shares a day on a market cap of $2.2B, with a beta of 0.74 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 13 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 22 / 25 | 22% margin of safety | |
| Health | 18 / 20 | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Moat | 10 / 15 | moat 6.6/10 | |
| Premium | 13 / 20 | implied volatility 28% | |
| Stability | 13 / 20 | 426k shares/day, $2.2B cap, beta 0.74 |
