Great Southern Bancorp Inc. (GSBC) Options Positioning, Max Pain & Unusual Sweeps

Per the Roarable RQD rating, GSBC scores 72 out of 100, earning a B grade and the verdict label "Roarable Buy — Good Risk/Reward." The five pillars are:

• Fundamental Cash Engine: 15 / 20. Per the Roarable RQD rating, this pillar reflects ROIC of 11.2% and an FCF yield of 7.94%. These are the strongest reported cash-generation figures in the dataset and support the view that the business converts capital into returns efficiently. Revenue and margin lines are reported as $0.0M and 0%, so the cash-engine read relies on ROIC and FCF yield rather than margin structure.
• Whale / 13F Flow: 15 / 20. Per the Roarable RQD rating, this pillar reflects institutional accumulation and options positioning. The underlying 13F and options detail is not itemized in the supplied holders section, so the score cannot be traced to specific filers or positions.
• Insider Conviction: 16 / 20. Per the Roarable RQD rating, this is the highest pillar and reflects SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow. The individual transactions are not itemized in the supplied data, so the score cannot be traced to specific trades.
• Macro Regime Fit: 13 / 20. Per the Roarable RQD rating, this pillar reflects a beta of 1.0 and sector sensitivity. A beta of 1.0 implies the stock is expected to move in line with the broader market, neither amplifying nor dampening market swings.
• Forensic Balance Sheet: 13 / 20. Per the Roarable RQD rating, this pillar reflects an Altman Z-Score of 2.5, a Piotroski F-Score of 5/9, and a Debt/Equity ratio of 0.5. These are moderate readings rather than standout strength.

For a prospective investor evaluating the stock today, the rating points to a balanced profile: solid cash-return metrics and strong insider-flow signal, offset by moderate balance-sheet and macro-fit readings. Valuation is reported at a trailing P/E of 12.4 and forward P/E of 11.5, which is the kind of multiple that would be considered modest in a generic sense, though no sector benchmark is supplied to confirm that comparison. The rating is a summary of the supplied inputs and is not a recommendation to act.

Great Southern Bancorp Inc. is a NASDAQ-listed issuer classified under the Financials sector and the Major Banks industry, per the profile section. The profile describes it as a publicly traded US company with a market capitalization of $0.9B. Specifics on its products, customer base, and revenue mix are not available in source data.

Per the SEC financials, net income moved from $67.8M in FY 2023 to $61.8M in FY 2024 and then to $71.0M in FY 2025. FCF followed a similar path, at $80.7M, $39.1M, and $70.1M across the same periods. Revenue, operating income, and EPS are reported as zero or N/A, so margin analysis is not supported by the data. Per the market data, ROIC is 11.2%, gross, operating, and net margins are each reported as 0%, and the Altman Z-Score of 2.5 and Piotroski F-Score of 5/9 come from the Roarable RQD rating's forensic balance sheet pillar. Debt/Equity is reported at 0.5. Cash is $189.6M at FY 2025 and $195.8M at FY 2024. Debt is not available in source data for any period.

Per the recent news and catalysts section, the feed contains six items, all tagged to GSBC:

• Q3 earnings beat (GREEN, CATALYST): Yahoo Finance reports that GSBC beat Q3 earnings and revenue estimates. This is the only item flagged as a positive catalyst in the feed.
• Q3 2026 earnings call presentation (YELLOW, MARKET WIRE): Seeking Alpha published the results presentation dated 2026-10-26. The content of the presentation is not included in the feed.
• Earnings decline estimate (YELLOW, MARKET WIRE): Yahoo Finance reports that analysts estimated a decline in earnings, framed as something to watch.
• Wall Street Zen downgrade (YELLOW, MARKET WIRE): MarketBeat reports that GSBC was "bumped down to sell" by Wall Street Zen. This is a risk watch item.

The Butterfly Supply-Chain Graph reports no supply chain links (supply_chain: NONE) and no proprietary signals, so there are no butterfly-driven catalysts to add. The positive earnings beat is offset in the feed by an analyst-estimate decline narrative and a Wall Street Zen sell-tier downgrade.

Analyst consensus, price targets, and holder detail are not available in source data. The analyst data and holders sections are both listed as NONE, so no SEC Form 4 insider, 13F whale, or Congressional trade records are itemized. The Roarable RQD rating references insider conviction and whale flow scores, but the underlying transactions are not provided here.
