Ridgepost Capital, Inc. (RPC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Blend
Is RPC undervalued?
RPC closed at 7.99 on 16 Oct 2026, which is 22% above the GLS average fair value of 6.53 from 9 models. 5 of them value the shares below today's price. Our screens read that as "no margin of safety": the stock is not a value candidate at this price, whatever the quality numbers say.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (0.7303) and 10 Cap (12.04). 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.

Nine valuation models for RPC
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 | 11.82 | +48% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 4.34 | -46% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 10.97 | +37% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 4.55 | -43% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.7303 | -91% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 12.04 | +51% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 9.29 | +16% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Ridgepost Capital, Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 3.2/10 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 2.6%, ROE 5.6%, ROA 2.1% - with debt at 1.15 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 8.4%.
The dividend yield is 1.95% at a payout ratio of 61%; 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.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 16 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 2.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.2 / 10 | ROE | 5.6% |
| Debt / equity | 1.15 | ROA | 2.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 8.4% | Payout ratio | 61% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 52: Fair
A Wheel Score of 52 puts Ridgepost Capital, Inc. in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 3/25, Health 13/20, Moat 5/15, Premium 19/20 and Stability 12/20; the weakest part is Value (3/25).
Implied volatility is 65% 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 - 411 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 517k shares a day on a market cap of $631M, with a beta of 0.86; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 3 / 25 | -22% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 5 / 15 | moat 3.2/10 | |
| Premium | 19 / 20 | implied volatility 65% | |
| Stability | 12 / 20 | 517k shares/day, $631M cap, beta 0.86 |
