Is RNGR undervalued?
Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (RNGR) closed at 14.79 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 23.32, which puts the price 37% below it. 5 of the 9 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
There is a wide gap between DDM (3.53) and DCF (73.59). 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 RNGR under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.
Nine valuation models for RNGR
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 | 73.59 | +398% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 13.20 | -11% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 34.52 | +133% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 15.08 | +2% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 5.16 | -65% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 35.34 | +139% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 22.73 | +54% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 3.53 | -76% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 6.72 | -55% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | 0.0855 | -99% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 20.00 | +35% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Ranger Energy Services, Inc. scores only 4 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 2.2/10 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 3.7%, ROE 4.1%, ROA 2.9% - with debt at 0.11 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 6.8%.
The dividend yield is 1.62% at a payout ratio of 40%; 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. Revenue comes mainly from Wireline Services 100% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 3/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 3.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.2 / 10 | ROE | 4.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.11 | ROA | 2.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 6.8% | Payout ratio | 40% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 3 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 64: Fair
A Wheel Score of 64 puts Ranger Energy Services, Inc. in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 25/25, Health 9/20, Moat 3/15, Premium 19/20 and Stability 7/20; the weakest part is Moat (3/15).
Implied volatility is 63% 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 (19 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 106 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 160k shares a day on a market cap of $346M, with a beta of 0.14 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 7 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 37% margin of safety | |
| Health | 9 / 20 | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.2/10 | |
| Premium | 19 / 20 | implied volatility 63% | |
| Stability | 7 / 20 | 160k shares/day, $346M cap, beta 0.14 |
