WVS Financial Corp. (WVFC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is WVFC undervalued?

WVS Financial Corp. (WVFC) closed at 19.40 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 25.55, so the price sits 24% below it. 5 of the 8 models value the shares above the current price. A margin of safety between 10% and 30% is where most of the Sunday Scan candidates come from.

The 8 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 6.10 while Graham Growth gives 63.16. 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, WVFC is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 69, growth score 36, out of 100).

Nine valuation models for WVFC

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.

Quality and financial health

Financial health is average - WVFC passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.4 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 thin or negative - ROIC 1.1%, ROE 5.9%, ROA 0.7% - with debt at 4.40 times equity and negative free cash flow. Debt of 4.40 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.

The dividend yield is 2.53% at a payout ratio of 0%; 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.

Wheel Score 29: No options

WVFC 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" (29 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.

Volume runs at 1k shares a day on a market cap of $32M, with a beta of 0.07 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

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.

Upcoming events

No upcoming earnings date is recorded for WVFC in the nightly calendar. The shares go ex-dividend on 9 Nov 2026 (0.1100 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
