Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (VPG): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is VPG undervalued?

VPG closed at 49.37 on 5 Nov 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 19.50. Only 0 of the 1 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the "below fair value" Wheel Trade Filter keeps names like this under 70.

The average is built from just 1 models (DCF) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.

The nightly engine files VPG 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.

Quality and financial health

Vishay Precision Group, Inc. scores only 3 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. On durability VPG scores 5.3/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.

Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 1.3%, ROE 1.6%, ROA 1.2% - with debt at 0.19 times equity and negative free cash flow.

Vishay Precision Group, 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 Transportation 22%, Test & Measurement 21%, Other Markets 19% (quarter Q1 FY2025).

Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 24: Weak

With a Wheel Score of 24 Vishay Precision Group, 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 153% above our fair value; and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 3/9 (under 6); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $607M (under $1.0B); Value (weak) is its weakest part.

Implied volatility is 78% 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 3,221 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.

Volume runs at 796k shares a day on a market cap of $607M, with a beta of 1.50 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that weak.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
