OP Bancorp (OPBK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol OPBK · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is OPBK undervalued?
At 15.40 (close of 5 Nov 2026), OPBK trades 13% under the GLS average fair value of 17.62. 5 of the 9 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.
The 9 models disagree widely: Payback Time gives 0.1951 while DCF gives 40.65. 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, OPBK is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 70, growth score 36, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for OPBK
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 | 40.65 | +164% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 26.97 | +75% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 31.00 | +101% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 7.30 | -53% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 5.89 | -62% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 16.25 | +6% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 0.1951 | -99% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 7.95 | -48% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 22.35 | +45% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -160.79 | -1144% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 18.00 | +17% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - OPBK passes 5 of the nine Piotroski tests, which falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is 7.5 out of 10 - high returns on capital, steady margins and growth that held up through bad years point to a durable business.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 7.3%, ROE 11.3%, ROA 1.0% - with debt at 0.54 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 0.1%.
The dividend yield is 3.51% at a payout ratio of 19%; 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 Service Fees And Transaction Based Fees… 83%, Overdraft And Nonsufficient Funds Fees… 17% (quarter Q1 FY2021).
Institutional ownership scores 9/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 7.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.5 / 10 | ROE | 11.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.54 | ROA | 1.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.1% | Payout ratio | 19% |
| Institutions | 9 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 42: Weak
OPBK scores 42 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (435 open interest, 129 a day); and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 5/9 (under 6); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $230M (under $1.0B), and the parts are thin too - value fair, premium strong, moat good, health fair, red flags strong, option trading weak, stability fair. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 43% 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 - 435 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 50k shares a day on a market cap of $230M, with a beta of 0.61 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; 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 (435 open interest, 129 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 | Fails | Piotroski 5/9 (under 6) |
| 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 $230M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Fair | 13% below fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 43% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 7.5/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 90/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 129 contracts a day, 435 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.61, $230M company |
