Oportun Financial Corporation (OPRT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol OPRT · Financial Services · Financial - Credit Services · United States · Blend
Is OPRT undervalued?
Oportun Financial Corporation (OPRT) closed at 13.01 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 7 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 40.48, which puts the price 68% below it. 4 of the 7 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (1.65) and 10 Cap (181.96). 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 OPRT, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 60, growth score 43, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for OPRT
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 11.81 | -9% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 32.47 | +150% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 13.50 | +4% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1.65 | -87% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 181.96 | +1299% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 33.87 | +160% | 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 | 8.11 | -38% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -60.07 | -562% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 8.50 | -35% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Oportun Financial Corporation 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. A GLS Moat score of 2.4/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC 0.8%, ROE 6.5%, ROA 0.8% - with debt at 7.21 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 73.7%. Debt of 7.21 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.
Oportun Financial Corporation 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 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 10 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 0.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.4 / 10 | ROE | 6.5% |
| Debt / equity | 7.21 | ROA | 0.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 73.7% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 44: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 44 Oportun Financial Corporation sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (363 open interest, 82 a day); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $598M (under $1.0B); Option trading (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 71% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% top of the sweet spot. It still passes the 25-80% filter, but the Wheel Score rewards it less because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 363 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 2.8M shares a day on a market cap of $598M, with a beta of 1.29 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; 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 (363 open interest, 82 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 $598M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 68% below fair value | |
| Premium | Good | implied volatility 71% | |
| Moat | Weak | moat 2.4/10 | |
| Health | Strong | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Red Flags | Good | Red Flags score 82/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 82 contracts a day, 363 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 1.29, $598M company |
