Rocket Companies, Inc. (RKT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Financial - Mortgages · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is RKT undervalued?
Rocket Companies, Inc. (RKT) closed at 10.53 on 16 Oct 2026, 174% above the GLS average fair value of 3.84. 6 of the 6 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 GLS Growth (0.4869) and Graham Growth (9.51). 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.
The nightly engine files RKT 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.

| Graham Growth | 9.51 | -10% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 4.16 | -61% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.4869 | -95% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |

Quality and financial health
Rocket Companies, Inc. scores only 3 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 2.5/10 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 -0.3%, ROE -0.3%, ROA -0.1% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Rocket Companies, Inc. 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 Direct To Customer 88%, Partner Network 12% (quarter Q1 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 4/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 3 / 9 | ROIC | -0.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.5 / 10 | ROE | -0.3% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | -0.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -2.6% | Payout ratio | 1% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 44: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 44 Rocket Companies, Inc. sits in the Weak band. The parts - Value 0/25, Health 7/20, Moat 4/15, Premium 17/20, Stability 17/20 - show where: Value (0/25) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 71% 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 (17 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. The option chain is deep: 1,297,767 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 47.0M shares a day on a market cap of $29.7B, with a beta of 2.25 - 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 gives that 17 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -174% margin of safety | |
| Health | 7 / 20 | Piotroski 3/9 | |
| Moat | 4 / 15 | moat 2.5/10 | |
| Premium | 17 / 20 | implied volatility 71% | |
| Stability | 17 / 20 | 47.0M shares/day, $29.7B cap, beta 2.25 |
