Zapata Quantum, Inc. (ZPTA): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol ZPTA · Technology · Software - Application · United States · Growth
Is ZPTA undervalued?
Zapata Quantum, Inc. (ZPTA) closed at 0.7400 on 5 Nov 2026, 40% above the GLS average fair value of 0.5270. 5 of the 7 models that produced a number value the shares below the current price. A gap this wide usually means the market is paying for growth or a story the trailing numbers do not show yet; the models work from filed results, not forecasts, so they are conservative by design.
There is a wide gap between 10 Cap (0.0175) and GLS Growth (1.40). 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, ZPTA is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 12, growth score 85, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for ZPTA
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.

| Graham Growth | 1.31 | +77% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 0.5722 | -23% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1.40 | +89% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 0.0175 | -98% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |

Quality and financial health
Zapata Quantum, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of 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. A GLS Moat score of 1.7/10 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 -241.8%, ROE -112.9%, ROA 410.9% - with debt at -0.53 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 0.1%.
Zapata Quantum, Inc. 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 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | -241.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.7 / 10 | ROE | -112.9% |
| Debt / equity | -0.53 | ROA | 410.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 14: No options
No options are listed on Zapata Quantum, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 14, 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 7k shares a day on a market cap of $143M, with a beta of -3.18 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |

| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 5/9 (under 6) |
| 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 $143M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 0.74 (under $5) |
