SurgePays, Inc. (SURG): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol SURG · Technology · Software - Application · United States · Speculative
Is SURG undervalued?
At 0.1545 (close of 5 Nov 2026), SURG has no GLS fair value: every one of the nine models needs a positive input (the company lost money over the last twelve months, EPS -1.24, it pays no dividend and its debts exceed what its assets would fetch), so the margin of safety is blank and the Wheel Score cannot be computed. Our scans leave the stock out at the first filter. What can be said from the nightly row is below.
The nightly engine files SURG under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for SURG
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 | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |
| GLS Growth | - | - | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year; no value tonight |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
SurgePays, Inc. scores only 4 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 1.5/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 1981.1%, ROE 234.2%, ROA -423.6% - with debt at -0.88 times equity and negative free cash flow.
SurgePays, 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 Lead Generation 100% (fiscal year FY2023).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 1981.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.5 / 10 | ROE | 234.2% |
| Debt / equity | -0.88 | ROA | -423.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -188.3% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 15: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 15 SurgePays, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 2, a real business, not a gamble - speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score); and filter 3, below fair value - trades right at our fair value; and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 4/9 (under 6); and filter 5, can repay its debt - debt with no positive cash flow to repay it; and filter 7, a premium worth selling - implied volatility 324% (over 80%); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $8M (under $1.0B); and filter 9, not a penny stock - price 0.15 (under $5); Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 324%, above the 80% ceiling of the Wheel Trade Filter on premium. The premium looks generous, but moves of that size can blow through any strike. Chain open interest is 8,139 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 3.5M shares a day on a market cap of $8M, with a beta of 0.28 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Fails | debt with no positive cash flow to repay 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 324% (over 80%) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $8M (under $1.0B) |

What is the Wheel Score of SURG and what does it mean?
SURG scores 15 out of 100 (Weak) - it fails Wheel Trade Filters 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9. The Wheel Score ranks stocks for the wheel strategy - selling cash-secured puts, then covered calls if assigned - in two parts: the 9 pass/fail Wheel Trade Filters (busy options, a real business, below fair value, Piotroski 6 or more, debt it can repay, a Red Flags score of 60 or more, implied volatility of 25-80%, a $1 billion company, $5 a share) and a ranking of how strongly a stock passes on value, premium, moat, health, red flags, option trading and stability. A stock that fails any filter stays under 70; 70-84 is Good, 85 and above is Prime. The Sunday Scan is the top 10 that pass, sorted by Wheel Score.
