Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc. (PCLB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Defensive
Is PCLB undervalued?
Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc. (PCLB) closed at 35.00 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 85.02, which puts the price 59% below it. 7 of the 9 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 DDM (15.89) and GLS Growth (215.85). 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.
The nightly engine files PCLB under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.

Quality and financial health
Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. On durability PCLB scores 6.3/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 13.6%, ROE 18.5%, ROA 1.2% - with debt at 0.36 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 11.9%.
The dividend yield is 3.09% at a payout ratio of 23%; 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.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 13.6% |
