Select Water Solutions, Inc. (WTTR): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Energy · Oil & Gas Equipment & Services · United States · Blend
Is WTTR undervalued?
WTTR closed at 18.83 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 8.70. Only 1 of the 8 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 Sunday Scan drops names like this at the "below fair value" rule.
There is a wide gap between 10 Cap (1.84) and DCF (24.67). 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.

| Lynch | 6.16 | -67% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 8.65 | -54% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |

Quality and financial health
Select Water Solutions, Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. A GLS Moat score of 1.1/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 1.8%, ROE 2.6%, ROA 1.3% - with debt at 0.46 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 1.49% with a payout ratio of 110% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Water Services 66%, Water Infrastructure 34% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 1.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.1 / 10 | ROE | 2.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.46 | ROA | 1.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -3.4% | Payout ratio | 110% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 52: Fair
A Wheel Score of 52 puts Select Water Solutions, Inc. in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 0/25, Health 13/20, Moat 2/15, Premium 20/20 and Stability 17/20; the weakest part is Value (0/25).
Implied volatility is 55% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 16,936 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 1.4M shares a day on a market cap of $2.4B, with a beta of 1.00; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 17 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -117% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 2 / 15 | moat 1.1/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 55% | |
| Stability | 17 / 20 | 1.4M shares/day, $2.4B cap, beta 1.00 |
