Rockwell Medical, Inc. (RMTI): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Healthcare · Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is RMTI undervalued?
At 7.66 (close of 16 Oct 2026), RMTI trades 22% under the GLS average fair value of 9.84. 1 of the 1 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS screen; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
Only 1 of the nine models produced a value (10 Cap); the others need a dividend, positive free cash flow or positive book value the company does not have yet, so the average rests on a narrow base.
The nightly engine files RMTI 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 RMTI
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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 | 9.84 | +28% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - RMTI 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 0.5 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 thin or negative - ROIC -10.7%, ROE -14.4%, ROA -9.3% - with debt at 0.34 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 5.0%.
Rockwell Medical, 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 Reportable 100% (quarter Q1 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | -10.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 0.5 / 10 | ROE | -14.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.34 | ROA | -9.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 5.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 38: Weak
RMTI scores 38 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50). Value 22/25, Health 11/20, Moat 1/15, Premium 0/20, Stability 5/20. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
No implied volatility is recorded for RMTI - the nightly snapshot found no near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - so the Premium part of the Wheel Score is zero. Chain open interest is thin - 180 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 16k shares a day on a market cap of $31M, with a beta of 1.63 - 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 5 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 22 / 25 | 22% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 1 / 15 | moat 0.5/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 5 / 20 | 16k shares/day, $31M cap, beta 1.63 |

Upcoming events
The next earnings report is due on 11 Nov 2026 (before the open), 26 days away; a 30-45-day put sold today would expire after it, which is worth weighing against the premium.
