Security Bancorp, Inc. (SCYT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol SCYT · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Blend
Is SCYT undervalued?
Security Bancorp, Inc. (SCYT) closed at 130.00 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 410.43, which puts the price 68% below it. 8 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 (14.71) and GLS Growth (902.93). 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for SCYT, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 80, growth score 63, out of 100).

Quality and financial health
Security Bancorp, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. 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. On durability SCYT scores 7.1/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 9.0%, ROE 13.1%, ROA 1.4% - with debt at 0.45 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 11.7%.
The dividend yield is 0.77% with a payout ratio of 6% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 9.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.1 / 10 | ROE | 13.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.45 | ROA | 1.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 11.7% | Payout ratio | 6% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 34: No options
No options are listed on Security Bancorp, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 34, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; 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 $49M, with a beta of 0.02 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 5/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $49M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
