Spectra Systems Corporation (SCTQ): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Technology · Software - Application · United States · High Growth
Is SCTQ undervalued?
At 2.69 (close of 16 Oct 2026), SCTQ trades 80% below the GLS average fair value of 13.54. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 8 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns Spectra Systems Corporation the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
There is a wide gap between DDM (2.01) and DCF (32.46). 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 SCTQ under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health
Spectra Systems Corporation scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 9.2/10 puts SCTQ among the more durable businesses we track: over ten years the metrics the score watches (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, ROIC) have mostly moved the right way, year after year.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 33.7%, ROE 39.5%, ROA 27.7% - with debt at 0.17 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.4%.
The dividend yield is high at 6.23% (payout ratio 28%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 33.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 9.2 / 10 | ROE | 39.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.17 | ROA | 27.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.4% | Payout ratio | 28% |

Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on Spectra Systems Corporation in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $128M, with a beta of 0.01 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 80% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 14 / 15 | moat 9.2/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $128M cap, beta 0.01 |
