Qnity Electronics, Inc. (Q): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol Q · Technology · Semiconductors · United States · Blend
Is Q undervalued?
At 118.78 (close of 5 Nov 2026), Q trades 164% over the GLS average fair value of 44.98, with 0 of 9 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (4.03) and 10 Cap (107.17). 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 Q, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 13, growth score 32, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for Q
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.

| Lynch | 32.52 | -73% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 4.03 | -97% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |

Quality and financial health
Qnity Electronics, Inc. scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. On durability Q scores 6.0/10 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 moderate - ROIC 5.7%, ROE 9.8%, ROA 4.9% - with debt at 0.70 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.1%.
The dividend yield is 0.25% with a payout ratio of 9% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Semiconductor Technologies 52%, Interconnect Solutions 48% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 6/10 and Congressional trading 10/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded Congressional buy was on 10 Aug 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 5.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.0 / 10 | ROE | 9.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.70 | ROA | 4.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 3.1% | Payout ratio | 9% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 6 · 10 / 10 |
Wheel Score 40: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 40 Qnity Electronics, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 3, below fair value - trades 164% above our fair value; and filter 5, can repay its debt - 3.5 years to repay its debt (over 3); Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 55% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% sweet spot the Wheel Score rewards most: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 37,885 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 3.3M shares a day on a market cap of $24.8B, with a beta of 1.68 - 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 rates that fair.
| 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 164% 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 | 3.5 years to repay its debt (over 3) |
| 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 | 164% above fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 55% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.0/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | Red Flags score 77/100 | |
| Option trading | Good | 1,681 contracts a day, 37,885 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 1.68, $24.8B company |
The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
Upcoming events
Qnity Electronics, Inc. reports earnings on 17 Nov 2026 (before the open) - inside the 14-day window the Sunday Scan avoids, because a put sold now would carry the report's gap risk. The shares go ex-dividend on 30 Nov 2026 (0.0800 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
No analyst upgrades or downgrades were recorded in the last 30 days.
