Seneca Foods Corporation (SENEB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Packaged Foods · United States · Value
Is SENEB undervalued?
Seneca Foods Corporation (SENEB) closed at 184.29 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 585.73, which puts the price 69% below it. 7 of the 8 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 Lynch (71.43) and Payback Time (1,342.69). 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 SENEB under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Quality and financial health
Seneca Foods 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. On durability SENEB scores 5.9/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 11.0%, ROE 15.2%, ROA 9.2% - with debt at 0.37 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 18.7%.
Seneca Foods Corporation pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Canned Vegetables 82%, Frozen 10%, Fruit 5% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 39: No options
