Western Copper and Gold Corporation (WRN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is WRN undervalued?

WRN closed at 1.60 on 5 Nov 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 0.0288. 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 WRN 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.

Nine valuation models for WRN

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.

Quality and financial health

Western Copper and Gold Corporation scores only 2 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. A GLS Moat score of 1.5/10 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 -1.6%, ROE -1.6%, ROA -1.6% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.

Western Copper and Gold Corporation 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 3/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 9: No options

No options are listed on Western Copper and Gold Corporation in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 9, 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 1.0M shares a day on a market cap of $362M, with a beta of 1.75 - 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.
