SelectQuote, Inc. (SLQT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Insurance - Brokers · United States · Value
Is SLQT undervalued?
SLQT has a margin of safety of 96%: the stock closed at 0.3320 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 9.16. 7 of the 7 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our screens treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
The 7 models disagree widely: EPV gives 3.67 while GLS Growth gives 20.23. 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 SLQT under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.
Nine valuation models for SLQT
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. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 5.07 | +1427% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 18.90 | +5594% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 8.26 | +2389% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 20.23 | +5994% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 3.76 | +1031% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 4.20 | +1164% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 3.67 | +1006% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -2.95 | -988% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: SLQT passes 4 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.0 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 5.9%, ROE 9.6%, ROA 4.1% - with debt at 0.61 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 34.1%.
SelectQuote, Inc. 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 Pharmacy 59%, Service 41% (quarter Q4 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 5.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.0 / 10 | ROE | 9.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.61 | ROA | 4.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 34.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 53: Fair
SLQT scores 53 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 25/25, Health 9/20, Moat 3/15, Premium 5/20, Stability 11/20. Moat (3/15) is where the points are missing.
Implied volatility is 258%, far above the range the wheel strategy is built for. The premium looks generous; the Wheel Score gives it only 5 of 20 Premium points because moves of that size can blow through any strike. Chain open interest is 15,697 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 1.0M shares a day on a market cap of $59M, with a beta of 1.69 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 11 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 96% margin of safety | |
| Health | 9 / 20 | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.0/10 | |
| Premium | 5 / 20 | implied volatility 258% | |
| Stability | 11 / 20 | 1.0M shares/day, $59M cap, beta 1.69 |
