Webco Industries, Inc. (WEBC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol WEBC · Basic Materials · Steel · United States · Blend
Is WEBC undervalued?
Webco Industries, Inc. (WEBC) closed at 400.00 on 5 Nov 2026, 13% above the GLS average fair value of 353.07. Only 3 of the 6 models that produced a number value the shares above the current price. The margin of safety is negative, so the stock fails the "below fair value" Wheel Trade Filter; a premium of this size is common for companies whose growth the models are conservative about.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (28.68) and DCF (654.06). 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, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for WEBC, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 57, growth score 37, out of 100).

| Lynch | 113.07 | -72% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |

Quality and financial health
Webco Industries, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 4.2/10 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 4.2%, ROE 5.9%, ROA 3.3% - with debt at 0.42 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Webco Industries, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
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 | 4.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.2 / 10 | ROE | 5.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.42 | ROA | 3.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 17: No options
No options are listed on Webco Industries, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 17, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $273M, with a beta of -0.06 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 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 13% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 5/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Fails | debt with no positive cash flow to repay 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 | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $273M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
