OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (OPHC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol OPHC · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is OPHC undervalued?
OPHC has a margin of safety of 75%: the stock closed at 8.95 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 35.97. 8 of the 8 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
The 8 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 13.23 while DCF gives 65.12. 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, OPHC is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 88, growth score 54, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for OPHC
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 | 65.12 | +628% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 20.82 | +133% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 40.12 | +348% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 13.23 | +48% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 19.77 | +121% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 55.47 | +520% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 54.22 | +506% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 19.05 | +113% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -69.05 | -872% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - OPHC passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is 6.0 out of 10: a record that is solid on some of the four parts the score weighs (returns on capital, pricing power, lasting growth, balance sheet) and weaker on others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 9.5%, ROE 13.7%, ROA 1.5% - with debt at 0.43 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 23.4%.
OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. 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 2/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 9.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.0 / 10 | ROE | 13.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.43 | ROA | 1.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 23.4% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 2 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 34: No options
OPHC has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business. It fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade), so the score stays under 70 and is shown as "No options" (34 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 61k shares a day on a market cap of $113M, with a beta of 0.29 - 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 | no listed options |
| 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 | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $113M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 75% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.0/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | not scored yet - half marks | |
