West Shore Bank Corp. (WSSH): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol WSSH · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Blend
Is WSSH undervalued?
WSSH has a margin of safety of 66%: the stock closed at 45.32 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 132.69. 7 of the 8 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
There is a wide gap between DDM (13.83) and Graham Growth (242.83). 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, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for WSSH, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 80, growth score 79, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for WSSH
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 73.00 | +61% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 242.83 | +436% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 102.53 | +126% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 198.00 | +337% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 152.02 | +235% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 222.75 | +391% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 13.83 | -69% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 56.57 | +25% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -588.69 | -1399% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
No Piotroski health score is on file for WSSH (the statements it needs were not available), so the Health part of the Wheel Score counts it at half marks - 10 of 20 - rather than marking the stock down for missing data. On durability WSSH scores 6.0/10 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 5.8%, ROE 10.9%, ROA 0.8% - with debt at 0.90 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 14.3%.
The dividend yield is 2.07% at a payout ratio of 18%; 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 | - / 9 | ROIC | 5.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.0 / 10 | ROE | 10.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.90 | ROA | 0.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 14.3% | Payout ratio | 18% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 32: No options
No options are listed on West Shore Bank Corp. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 32, 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 0k shares a day on a market cap of $56M, with a beta of 0.04 - 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 | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 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 $56M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 66% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.0/10 | |
| Health | Fair | no Piotroski score on file - half marks | |
| Red Flags | Fair | not scored yet - half marks | |

| Stability | Fair | beta 0.04, $56M company |
