ONEOK, Inc. (OKE): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol OKE · Energy · Oil & Gas Midstream · United States · Growth Income
Is OKE undervalued?
ONEOK, Inc. (OKE) closed at 88.60 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 113.66, so the price sits 22% below it. 5 of the 9 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 Lynch (38.01) and DCF (225.23). 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, OKE is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 48, growth score 76, out of 100). It also carries the Income tag (Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).

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 | 225.23 | +154% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 73.21 | -17% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 127.91 | +44% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 38.01 | -57% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 165.84 | +87% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 137.17 | +55% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 120.94 | +37% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 62.98 | -29% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |

Quality and financial health
ONEOK, Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. 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 4.3/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 6.1%, ROE 15.1%, ROA 5.1% - with debt at 1.46 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 4.5%.
The dividend yield is high at 4.83% (payout ratio 66%). 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. Revenue comes mainly from Refined Products and Crude Oil 47%, Natural Gas Liquids 36%, Natural Gas Gathering And Processing 16% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 1/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 6.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.3 / 10 | ROE | 15.1% |
| Debt / equity | 1.46 | ROA | 5.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 4.5% | Payout ratio | 66% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 1 / 10 |
Wheel Score 48: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 48 ONEOK, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 5, can repay its debt - 5.5 years to repay its debt (over 3); Moat (fair) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 31% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: enough to pass the 25-80% Wheel Trade Filter, but under the 35-60% sweet spot the score rewards most. The option chain is deep: 67,903 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 5.6M shares a day on a market cap of $55.9B, with a beta of 0.75 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that strong.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded 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 | Fails | 5.5 years to repay its debt (over 3) |
| 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 | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Good | 22% below fair value | |
| Premium | Good | implied volatility 31% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.3/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Red Flags | Good | Red Flags score 82/100 | |
| Option trading | Good | 3,500 contracts a day, 67,903 open interest | |
| Stability | Strong | beta 0.75, $55.9B company |
