Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PEG): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol PEG · Utilities · Regulated Electric · United States · Growth
Is PEG undervalued?
PEG closed at 73.22 on 5 Nov 2026, which is 23% above the GLS average fair value of 59.41 from 8 models. 4 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.
The 8 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 23.73 while GLS Growth gives 85.78. 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, PEG is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 35, growth score 67, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for PEG
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 52.74 | -28% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 75.89 | +4% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 23.73 | -68% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 85.78 | +17% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 82.23 | +12% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 76.62 | +5% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 38.85 | -47% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 39.40 | -46% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -72.21 | -199% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 82.00 | +12% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health PEG scores 8/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.2 out of 10: returns on capital, margins or the balance sheet have not shown a lasting edge yet - often a young company, a thin-margin business or one that has only recently turned profitable.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 5.1%, ROE 12.4%, ROA 3.7% - with debt at 1.44 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.5%.
The dividend yield is 3.61% at a payout ratio of 75%; 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 Public Service Electric and Gas Company 46%, Transmission 17%, Electricity and Related Products 13% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 10/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded Congressional buy was on 25 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 5.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.2 / 10 | ROE | 12.4% |
| Debt / equity | 1.44 | ROA | 3.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 3.5% | Payout ratio | 75% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 10 / 10 |
Wheel Score 31: Weak
PEG scores 31 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 3, below fair value - trades 23% above our fair value; and filter 5, can repay its debt - 9.2 years to repay its debt (over 6), and the parts are thin too - value weak, premium fair, moat fair, health strong, red flags weak, option trading fair, stability strong. 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 27% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: enough to pass the 25-80% Wheel Trade Filter, but under the 35-60% sweet spot the score rewards most. Chain open interest is 19,510 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 5.5M shares a day on a market cap of $36.5B, with a beta of 0.49 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that strong.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded 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 | Fails | trades 23% 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 | Fails | 9.2 years to repay its debt (over 6) |
| 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 | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 23% above fair value | |
| Premium | Fair | implied volatility 27% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.2/10 | |
| Health | Strong | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Red Flags | Weak | Red Flags score 65/100 | |
| Option trading | Fair | 685 contracts a day, 19,510 open interest | |
| Stability | Strong | beta 0.49, $36.5B company |
