Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. (SOLS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Basic Materials · Chemicals - Specialty · United States · Blend
Is SOLS undervalued?
At 60.13 (close of 16 Oct 2026), SOLS trades 30% over the GLS average fair value of 46.12, with 2 of 9 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.
There is a wide gap between DDM (3.31) and DCF (227.71). 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.

| Graham Number | 17.24 | -71% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 44.09 | -27% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 16.93 | -72% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 3.87 | -94% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |

Quality and financial health
Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. A GLS Moat score of 4.8/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 6.2%, ROE 16.8%, ROA 4.2% - with debt at 1.72 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 1.9%.
The dividend yield is 0.37% with a payout ratio of 726% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Product 93%, Service 8% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 1/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 10 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 6.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.8 / 10 | ROE | 16.8% |
| Debt / equity | 1.72 | ROA | 4.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 1.9% | Payout ratio | 726% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 1 / 10 |
Wheel Score 60: Fair
A Wheel Score of 60 puts Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 0/25, Health 13/20, Moat 7/15, Premium 20/20 and Stability 20/20; the weakest part is Value (0/25).
Implied volatility is 54% 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. The option chain is deep: 85,948 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 2.7M shares a day on a market cap of $9.6B, with a beta of 0.49 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 20 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -30% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 7 / 15 | moat 4.8/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 54% | |
| Stability | 20 / 20 | 2.7M shares/day, $9.6B cap, beta 0.49 |
