Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (PKOH): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Industrial - Machinery · United States · Blend
Is PKOH undervalued?
PKOH closed at 47.30 on 16 Oct 2026, 11% below the GLS average fair value of 52.99 from 9 models (5 of them above the price). That is a moderate margin of safety: the stock passes the "below fair value" rule of the Sunday Scan, and the Wheel Score gives it 17 of the 25 Value points.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 7.36 while GLS Growth gives 120.24. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 72.71 | +54% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 35.26 | -25% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 78.18 | +65% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 31.63 | -33% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 120.24 | +154% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 53.62 | +13% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - PKOH passes 5 of the nine Piotroski tests, which falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.2 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 2.4%, ROE 6.5%, ROA 1.7% - with debt at 1.75 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.9%.
The dividend yield is 1.06% with a payout ratio of 29% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Supply Technologies 48%, Engineered Products 29%, Assembly Components 23% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 7/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 2.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.2 / 10 | ROE | 6.5% |
| Debt / equity | 1.75 | ROA | 1.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 2.9% | Payout ratio | 29% |
| Institutions | 7 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 58: Fair
PKOH scores 58 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 17/25, Health 11/20, Moat 3/15, Premium 19/20, Stability 7/20. Moat (3/15) is where the points are missing.
Implied volatility is 63% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (19 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 994 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 53k shares a day on a market cap of $685M, with a beta of 1.23 - 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 gives that 7 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 17 / 25 | 11% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.2/10 | |
| Premium | 19 / 20 | implied volatility 63% | |
| Stability | 7 / 20 | 53k shares/day, $685M cap, beta 1.23 |
