Star Group, L.P. (SGU): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Energy · Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing · United States · High Yield Income
Is SGU undervalued?
At 12.92 (close of 16 Oct 2026), SGU trades 78% below the GLS average fair value of 60.09. 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 Star Group, L.P. 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 (11.26) and GLS Growth (138.02). 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 SGU under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 31.73 | +146% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 24.51 | +90% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |

| Lynch | 56.36 | +336% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 138.02 | +968% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |

| Payback Time | 68.53 | +430% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Star Group, L.P. 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 SGU scores 5.7/10 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 10.7%, ROE 20.8%, ROA 6.5% - with debt at 0.94 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 13.4%.
The dividend yield is high at 5.92% (payout ratio 36%). 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. Revenue comes mainly from Product 37%, Home Heating Oil And Propane 21%, Other Petroleum Products 16% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 10.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.7 / 10 | ROE | 20.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.94 | ROA | 6.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 13.4% | Payout ratio | 36% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 76: Good
With a Wheel Score of 76 - the Good band - Star Group, L.P. clears the Sunday Scan's "70 or higher" rule. The parts: Value 25/25, Health 16/20, Moat 9/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 7/20; Stability (7/20) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 56% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 2,855 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 44k shares a day on a market cap of $424M, with a beta of 0.30 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 7 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 78% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 9 / 15 | moat 5.7/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 56% | |
| Stability | 7 / 20 | 44k shares/day, $424M cap, beta 0.30 |
