Tenable Holdings, Inc. (TENB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol TENB · Technology · Software - Infrastructure · United States · Growth
Is TENB undervalued?
At 47.34 (close of 5 Nov 2026), TENB trades 262% over the GLS average fair value of 13.09, with 1 of 7 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 Lynch (1.44) and 10 Cap (53.90). 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, TENB is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 5, growth score 60, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for TENB
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.

| Lynch | 1.44 | -97% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |

Quality and financial health
Tenable Holdings, Inc. scores 8 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 4.0/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC -4.6%, ROE -11.1%, ROA -2.1% - with debt at 1.43 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 5.4%.
Tenable Holdings, 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 Subscription and Circulation 93%, Service, Other 4%, License and Maintenance 4% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 1/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | -4.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.0 / 10 | ROE | -11.1% |
| Debt / equity | 1.43 | ROA | -2.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 5.4% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 1 / 10 |
Wheel Score 40: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 40 Tenable Holdings, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 3, below fair value - trades 262% above our fair value; Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 63% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% top of the sweet spot. It still passes the 25-80% filter, but the Wheel Score rewards it less because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 24,400 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 2.6M shares a day on a market cap of $5.2B, with a beta of 1.01; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that good.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded 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 262% 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 | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 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 | 262% above fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 63% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.0/10 | |
| Health | Strong | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 95/100 | |
| Option trading | Fair | 689 contracts a day, 24,400 open interest | |
