TORM plc (TRMD): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Marine Shipping · United Kingdom · High Yield Income
Is TRMD undervalued?
TORM plc (TRMD) closed at 39.91 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 58.25, which puts the price 31% below it. 6 of the 9 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (17.98) and Graham Growth (99.10). 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 TRMD under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 89.43 | +124% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 58.27 | +46% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 99.10 | +148% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 24.57 | -38% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 17.98 | -55% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 67.27 | +69% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 35.09 | -12% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
TORM plc scores 7 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 Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 2.7/10 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 moderate - ROIC 9.2%, ROE 13.5%, ROA 8.8% - with debt at 0.46 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 4.6%.
The dividend yield is high at 11.12% (payout ratio 39%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Others 100% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 3/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 9.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.7 / 10 | ROE | 13.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.46 | ROA | 8.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 4.6% | Payout ratio | 39% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 3 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 83: Prime
With a Wheel Score of 83, TORM plc sits in the Prime band - price, quality and premium all line up for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 25/25, Health 16/20, Moat 4/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 18/20. A high score is a ranking, not a signal: it says nothing about timing, the earnings date or your position size.
Implied volatility is 51% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 39,105 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 2.4M shares a day on a market cap of $4.1B, with a beta of 0.01 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 18 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 31% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 4 / 15 | moat 2.7/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 51% | |
| Stability | 18 / 20 | 2.4M shares/day, $4.1B cap, beta 0.01 |
