S&T Bancorp, Inc. (STBA): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol STBA · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is STBA undervalued?
STBA closed at 52.16 on 5 Nov 2026, which is 13% above the GLS average fair value of 46.01 from 9 models. 5 of them value the shares below today's price. Our scans read that as "no margin of safety": the stock is not a value candidate at this price, whatever the quality numbers say.
The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 3.63 while 10 Cap gives 103.99. 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, STBA is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 52, growth score 14, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for STBA
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 | 56.07 | +7% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 60.35 | +16% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 45.68 | -12% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 6.05 | -88% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 3.63 | -93% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 103.99 | +99% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 71.56 | +37% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 21.48 | -59% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 45.27 | -13% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -205.75 | -494% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 53.50 | +3% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health STBA scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 6.7 out of 10: a record that is solid on some of the four parts the score weighs (returns on capital, pricing power, lasting growth, balance sheet) and weaker on others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 7.6%, ROE 9.2%, ROA 1.4% - with debt at 0.21 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 8.0%.
The dividend yield is 2.80% at a payout ratio of 37%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold. Revenue comes mainly from Credit and Debit Card 37%, Deposit Account 34%, Wealth Management 28% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 9/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 7.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.7 / 10 | ROE | 9.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.21 | ROA | 1.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 8.0% | Payout ratio | 37% |
| Institutions | 9 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 30: Weak
STBA scores 30 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (3 open interest, 7 a day); and filter 3, below fair value - trades 13% above our fair value; and filter 7, a premium worth selling - implied volatility 25% (under 25%), and the parts are thin too - value weak, premium weak, moat good, health good, red flags strong, option trading weak, stability fair. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility on the near-the-money contracts is 25%, below the 25% the Wheel Trade Filter on premium asks for: a put pays too little to be worth selling. Chain open interest is thin - 3 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 257k shares a day on a market cap of $1.8B, with a beta of 0.84; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | options too quiet (3 open interest, 7 a day) |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Fails | trades 13% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 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) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | implied volatility 25% (under 25%) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 13% above fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | implied volatility 25% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.7/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 100/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 7 contracts a day, 3 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.84, $1.8B company |

Upcoming events
The next earnings report is due on 28 Jan 2027, 84 days away - outside the window of a 30-45-day put sold today. The shares go ex-dividend on 12 Nov 2026 (0.3800 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
