Is REF undervalued?
Reformation Inc. (California) (REF) closed at 18.41 on 5 Nov 2026, 5161% above the GLS average fair value of 0.3499. 5 of the 5 models that produced a number value the shares below the current price. A gap this wide usually means the market is paying for growth or a story the trailing numbers do not show yet; the models work from filed results, not forecasts, so they are conservative by design.
There is a wide gap between EPV (0.0580) and Graham Number (0.9428). 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, REF is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 19, growth score 79, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for REF
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 | 0.9428 | -95% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 0.2987 | -98% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 0.1305 | -99% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.3197 | -98% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 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 | 0.0580 | -100% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -5.69 | -131% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 18.83 | +2% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
No Piotroski health score is on file for REF (the statements it needs were not available), so the Health part of the Wheel Score counts it at half marks - 10 of 20 - rather than marking the stock down for missing data. A GLS Moat score of 4.9/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 1.6%, ROE 2.9%, ROA 1.3% - with debt at 0.77 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Reformation Inc. (California) 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 Reportable 100% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 31 Jul 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | - / 9 | ROIC | 1.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.9 / 10 | ROE | 2.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.77 | ROA | 1.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -1.2% | Payout ratio | 22718% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 34: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 34 Reformation Inc. (California) sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 3, below fair value - trades 5161% above our fair value; and filter 5, can repay its debt - 5.5 years to repay its debt (over 3); Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 65% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% top of the sweet spot. It still passes the 25-80% filter, but the Wheel Score rewards it less because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 1,717 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 382k shares a day on a market cap of $1.1B, with a beta of -7.34 - 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 | 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 5161% 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 | 5.5 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 | 5161% above fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 65% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.9/10 | |
| Health | Fair | no Piotroski score on file - half marks | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 95/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 779 contracts a day, 1,717 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta -7.34, $1.1B company |
