Quanterix Corporation (QTRX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Healthcare · Medical - Devices · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is QTRX undervalued?
At 3.06 (close of 16 Oct 2026), QTRX has no GLS fair value: every one of the nine models needs a positive input (the company lost money over the last twelve months, EPS -2.62 and it pays no dividend), so the margin of safety is blank and the Wheel Score cannot be computed. Our screens leave the stock out at the first rule. What can be said from the nightly row is below.
The nightly engine files QTRX under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for QTRX
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |
| GLS Growth | - | - | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year; no value tonight |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | - | - | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Quanterix Corporation scores only 2 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. A GLS Moat score of 2.6/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -32.2%, ROE -36.2%, ROA -25.6% - with debt at 0.13 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Quanterix Corporation 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 Product 38%, Consumable And Other Products 32%, Service And Other Revenue 15% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 2 / 9 | ROIC | -32.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.6 / 10 | ROE | -36.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.13 | ROA | -25.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -51.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 37: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 37 Quanterix Corporation sits in the Weak band. The parts - Value 13/25, Health 4/20, Moat 4/15, Premium 7/20, Stability 9/20 - show where: Health (4/20) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 114% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (7 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 2,688 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 342k shares a day on a market cap of $145M, with a beta of 1.01; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 9 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 13 / 25 | 0% margin of safety | |
| Health | 4 / 20 | Piotroski 2/9 | |
| Moat | 4 / 15 | moat 2.6/10 | |
| Premium | 7 / 20 | implied volatility 114% | |
| Stability | 9 / 20 | 342k shares/day, $145M cap, beta 1.01 |
