Industrials · Marine Shipping · Greece · Value
Is PSHG undervalued?
Performance Shipping Inc. (PSHG) closed at 1.63 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 5 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 26.67, which puts the price 94% below it. 5 of the 5 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.
The 5 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 7.91 while Graham Growth gives 43.61. 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 PSHG under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - PSHG 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 2.4 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 moderate - ROIC 9.2%, ROE 15.5%, ROA 8.9% - with debt at 0.69 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Performance Shipping Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Voyage charters 100% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 9.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.4 / 10 | ROE | 15.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.69 | ROA | 8.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -1272.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
PSHG 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 44k shares a day on a market cap of $20M, with a beta of -0.15 - 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 | 94% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 4 / 15 | moat 2.4/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 44k shares/day, $20M cap, beta -0.15 |
