White River Bancshares Co. (WRIV): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol WRIV · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Blend
Is WRIV undervalued?
WRIV closed at 34.00 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 33.12 - 2.6% above fair value, which our scans read as "fairly priced". 5 of 9 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 3.68 while 10 Cap gives 69.72. 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for WRIV, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 58, growth score 50, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for WRIV
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 16.65 | -51% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 43.78 | +29% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 56.34 | +66% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 13.97 | -59% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 10.22 | -70% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 69.72 | +105% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 44.97 | +32% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 3.68 | -89% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 38.80 | +14% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -278.55 | -919% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
On financial health WRIV 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 low at 4.2 out of 10: returns on capital, margins or the balance sheet have not shown a lasting edge yet - often a young company, a thin-margin business or one that has only recently turned profitable.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 7.2%, ROE 12.2%, ROA 0.9% - with debt at 0.70 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 6.9%.
The dividend yield is 0.74% with a payout ratio of 7% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 7.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.2 / 10 | ROE | 12.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.70 | ROA | 0.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 6.9% | Payout ratio | 7% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 19: No options
WRIV has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business. It fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade), so the score stays under 70 and is shown as "No options" (19 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 2k shares a day on a market cap of $166M, 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 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 3% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on 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 $166M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 3% above fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.2/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | not scored yet - half marks | |
| Option trading | Weak | no option volume data | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.11, $166M company |
