WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (WMKMX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Blend
Is WMKMX undervalued?
At 9.28 (close of 16 Oct 2026), WMKMX trades 85% over the GLS average fair value of 5.01, with 0 of 2 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.
Only 2 of the nine models produced a value (10 Cap, DDM); 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.

Nine valuation models for WMKMX
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. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.

| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |
| GLS Growth | - | - | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year; no value tonight |
| 10 Cap | 6.46 | -30% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: WMKMX passes 4 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.8 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 -9.3%, ROE -15.7%, ROA -9.3% - with debt at 0.68 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.5%.
The dividend yield is 2.61% at a payout ratio of -25%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | -9.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.8 / 10 | ROE | -15.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.68 | ROA | -9.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 3.5% | Payout ratio | -25% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 22: No options
WMKMX 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" (22 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
