Is WFCF undervalued?
Where Food Comes From Inc (WFCF) closed at 14.20 on 16 Oct 2026, 76% above the GLS average fair value of 8.09. 6 of the 8 models that produced a number value the shares below the current price. A gap this wide usually means the market is paying for growth or a story the trailing numbers do not show yet; the models work from filed results, not forecasts, so they are conservative by design.
The 8 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 0.7113 while DCF gives 22.71. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.

Quality and financial health
On financial health WFCF scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 5.0 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 14.3%, ROE 16.5%, ROA 11.9% - with debt at 0.15 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 1.4%.
Where Food Comes From 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 Verification and Certification Service… 82%, Product 14%, Professional Services 4% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 2/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 14.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.0 / 10 | ROE | 16.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.15 | ROA | 11.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 1.4% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 2 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 29: No options
WFCF 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" (29 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 39k shares a day on a market cap of $71M, with a beta of 0.11 - 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -76% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
