WSFS Financial Corporation (WSFS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol WSFS · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is WSFS undervalued?
At 81.08 (close of 5 Nov 2026), WSFS trades 31% over the GLS average fair value of 61.88, with 2 of 9 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.
There is a wide gap between DDM (10.89) and Graham Growth (146.58). 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, WSFS is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 47, growth score 25, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for WSFS
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 | 72.99 | -10% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 86.62 | +7% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 146.58 | +81% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 47.24 | -42% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 36.32 | -55% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 62.35 | -23% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 21.45 | -74% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 10.89 | -87% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 72.45 | -11% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -335.24 | -513% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 83.33 | +3% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
WSFS Financial Corporation scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes 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. On durability WSFS scores 7.0/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 9.5%, ROE 10.5%, ROA 1.3% - with debt at 0.11 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 1.2%.
The dividend yield is 0.91% with a payout ratio of 9% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Service, Other 50%, Miscellaneous Products And Services 18%, Managed Service Fees 16% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 4/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 9.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.0 / 10 | ROE | 10.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.11 | ROA | 1.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 1.2% | Payout ratio | 9% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 4 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 32: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 32 WSFS Financial Corporation sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (635 open interest, 174 a day); and filter 3, below fair value - trades 31% above our fair value; Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 29% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: enough to pass the 25-80% Wheel Trade Filter, but under the 35-60% sweet spot the score rewards most. Chain open interest is thin - 635 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 429k shares a day on a market cap of $4.2B, with a beta of 0.75 - 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 | options too quiet (635 open interest, 174 a day) |
| 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 31% 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 | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 31% above fair value | |
| Premium | Good | implied volatility 29% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 7.0/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 90/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 174 contracts a day, 635 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.75, $4.2B company |
