TOR Minerals International, Inc. (TORM): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Basic Materials · Chemicals - Specialty · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is TORM undervalued?
At 2.14 (close of 16 Oct 2026), TORM trades 78% below the GLS average fair value of 9.56. That average comes from 1 models run on the latest filings, and 1 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns TOR Minerals International, Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
Only 1 of the nine models produced a value (10 Cap); the others need a dividend, positive free cash flow or positive book value the company does not have yet, so the average rests on a narrow base.
The nightly engine files TORM 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.
Nine valuation models for TORM
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.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - TORM passes 5 of the nine Piotroski tests, which falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 3.1 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -5.6%, ROE -6.1%, ROA -4.8% - with debt at 0.08 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 20.9%.
TOR Minerals International, 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 Hitox 53%, Haltex / Optiload 40%, Bartex / Baryprem 7% (fiscal year FY2017).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | -5.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.1 / 10 | ROE | -6.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.08 | ROA | -4.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 20.9% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
TORM has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 3k shares a day on a market cap of $8M, with a beta of 0.24 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 78% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 5 / 15 | moat 3.1/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 3k shares/day, $8M cap, beta 0.24 |
