Pacific Valley Bancorp (PVBK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol PVBK · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Blend
Is PVBK undervalued?
At 9.27 (close of 5 Nov 2026), PVBK trades 17% over the GLS average fair value of 7.95. 1 of the 8 models land above the price and 7 below. A negative margin of safety fails the "below fair value" Wheel Trade Filter - the models see no discount, which does not make the business a poor one, only the price a full one.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (1.62) and DCF (26.74). 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for PVBK, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 46, growth score 38, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for PVBK
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 26.74 | +189% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 9.22 | -1% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 8.93 | -4% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 2.22 | -76% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1.62 | -83% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 6.86 | -26% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 1.84 | -80% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 6.15 | -34% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -91.83 | -1091% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
Pacific Valley Bancorp scores only 4 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. On durability PVBK scores 5.7/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 4.1%, ROE 5.1%, ROA 0.5% - with debt at 0.26 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Pacific Valley Bancorp pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 4.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.7 / 10 | ROE | 5.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.26 | ROA | 0.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 17: No options
No options are listed on Pacific Valley Bancorp in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 17, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 4k shares a day on a market cap of $50M, with a beta of 0.13 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 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 17% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 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 | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $50M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |

| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 5.7/10 | |
