QNB Corp. (QNBC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Defensive
Is QNBC undervalued?
QNB Corp. (QNBC) closed at 45.80 on 16 Oct 2026, 29% above the GLS average fair value of 35.38. Only 3 of the 9 models that produced a number value the shares above the current price. The margin of safety is negative, so the stock fails the "below fair value" rule of the Sunday Scan; a premium of this size is common for companies whose growth the models are conservative about.
The 9 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 10.79 while 10 Cap gives 58.26. 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 QNBC under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 31.03 | -32% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 47.36 | +3% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 43.54 | -5% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 10.79 | -76% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 25.52 | -44% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 58.26 | +27% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 49.11 | +7% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 22.81 | -50% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 29.99 | -35% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -427.11 | -1033% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - QNBC 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 4.6 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 5.6%, ROE 10.9%, ROA 0.7% - with debt at 0.93 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 5.6%.
The dividend yield is 3.38% at a payout ratio of 42%; 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.
Institutional ownership scores 3/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 5.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.6 / 10 | ROE | 10.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.93 | ROA | 0.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 5.6% | Payout ratio | 42% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 24: No options
QNBC 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" (24 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 17k shares a day on a market cap of $185M, with a beta of 0.46 - 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 | 0 / 25 | -29% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 7 / 15 | moat 4.6/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 17k shares/day, $185M cap, beta 0.46 |
