OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCM): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol OTCM · Financial Services · Financial - Data & Stock Exchanges · United States · Growth Quality Income
Is OTCM undervalued?
OTCM closed at 52.45 on 5 Nov 2026, which is 11% above the GLS average fair value of 47.22 from 9 models. 6 of them value the shares below today's price. Our scans read that as "no margin of safety": the stock is not a value candidate at this price, whatever the quality numbers say.
There is a wide gap between Lynch (5.84) and 10 Cap (98.20). 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, OTCM is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 26, growth score 58, out of 100). It also carries the Quality and Income tags (Quality = moat 7.5+ out of 10 and Piotroski 7+; Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).
Nine valuation models for OTCM
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 | 88.01 | +68% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 15.73 | -70% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 34.96 | -33% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 5.84 | -89% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 18.70 | -64% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 98.20 | +87% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 90.42 | +72% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 41.64 | -21% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 31.47 | -40% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | 0.2502 | -100% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
OTC Markets Group Inc. scores 7 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 9.6/10 puts OTCM among the more durable businesses we track: over up to ten years its returns on capital have stayed high, its margins steady and its balance sheet sound.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 60.7%, ROE 76.9%, ROA 30.1% - with debt at 0.27 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 7.8%.
The dividend yield is high at 5.40% (payout ratio 97%). 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.
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 60.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 9.6 / 10 | ROE | 76.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.27 | ROA | 30.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 7.8% | Payout ratio | 97% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 25: No options
No options are listed on OTC Markets Group Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 25, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 9k shares a day on a market cap of $629M, with a beta of 0.27 - 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 | Fails | trades 11% above our fair value |
| 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 $629M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 11% above fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Strong | moat 9.6/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |

| Stability | Fair | beta 0.27, $629M company |
