Industrials · Conglomerates · United States · Value
Is SEB undervalued?
SEB closed at 4,033.82 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 3,722.62 - 8.4% above fair value, which our screens read as "fairly priced". 3 of 7 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.
The 7 models disagree widely: DDM gives 132.43 while Graham Number gives 9,236.16. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files SEB under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.
Nine valuation models for SEB
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.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - SEB passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes 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 4.3 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 moderate - ROIC 7.1%, ROE 9.5%, ROA 6.0% - with debt at 0.35 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 0.22% with a payout ratio of 1% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Product 71%, Service 13%, Transportation 12% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 3/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 7.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.3 / 10 | ROE | 9.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.35 | ROA | 6.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -0.6% | Payout ratio | 1% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
SEB has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 13k shares a day on a market cap of $3.9B, with a beta of 0.21 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 10 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 9 / 25 | -8% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 4.3/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 10 / 20 | 13k shares/day, $3.9B cap, beta 0.21 |
