Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (TIKK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Aerospace & Defense · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is TIKK undervalued?
At 1.30 (close of 16 Oct 2026), TIKK trades within a few percent of the GLS average fair value of 1.34 (3.0% below fair value). 6 models produced a value and they split 3 above the price to 3 below. A stock priced at fair value earns about half of the Wheel Score's Value points; the rest of the score comes from health, moat, premium and stability.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (0.3074) and Graham Number (2.23). 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.
The nightly engine files TIKK under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

Quality and financial health
Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. scores only 1 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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 2.5/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC 3.9%, ROE 5.0%, ROA 3.2% - with debt at 0.29 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. 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 Other Revenue 100% (quarter Q2 FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 1 / 9 | ROIC | 3.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.5 / 10 | ROE | 5.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.29 | ROA | 3.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -152.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
