SIM is an American depositary share (ADR): the US listing of Grupo Simec, S.A.B. de C.V., whose own shares trade on its home exchange. It trades in dollars during US hours; currency moves and the home country's rules also affect it, and the depositary bank charges a small yearly fee.
Is SIM undervalued?
At 24.80 (close of 5 Nov 2026), SIM trades within a few percent of the GLS average fair value of 23.39 (6.0% above fair value). 8 models produced a value and they split 4 above the price to 4 below. A stock priced at fair value earns about half of the Wheel Score's Value points; the rest of the score comes from health, moat, premium and stability.
There is a wide gap between Payback Time (5.51) and DCF (43.57). 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, SIM is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 55, growth score 20, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for SIM
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.

| Lynch | 14.04 | -43% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 5.55 | -78% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 25.45 | +3% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 5.51 | -78% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Grupo Simec, S.A.B. de C.V. 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 SIM scores 5.9/10 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 high - ROIC 17.6%, ROE 17.6%, ROA 14.6% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 1.1%.
Grupo Simec, S.A.B. de C.V. 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 Rebar 35%, Hot Rolled Bars 21%, Others 10% (fiscal year FY2021).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 14.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 1.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 19: No options
No options are listed on Grupo Simec, S.A.B. de C.V. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 19, 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 $4.1B, with a beta of 0.27 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

| 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) |

| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
