Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation (PPBN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Defensive
Is PPBN undervalued?
At 62.50 (close of 16 Oct 2026), PPBN trades 45% below the GLS average fair value of 114.67. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 7 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 17.51 while EPV gives 211.54. 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.
The nightly engine files PPBN under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 99.20 | +59% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 136.38 | +118% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 204.33 | +227% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 23.57 | -62% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 67.45 | +8% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 184.12 | +195% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 87.96 | +41% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 17.51 | -72% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - PPBN passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is 5.0 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 11.9%, ROE 12.0%, ROA 1.0% - with debt at 0.01 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 1.90% at a payout ratio of 0%; 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 Mortgage Banking 63%, Bank Servicing 37% (quarter Q4 FY2020).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 11.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.0 / 10 | ROE | 12.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.01 | ROA | 1.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
PPBN has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $136M, 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 gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 45% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.0/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $136M cap, beta 0.27 |
