Columbia Acorn International Inst (ACINX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is ACINX undervalued?
Columbia Acorn International Inst (ACINX) closed at 23.44 on 16 Oct 2026, 31% above the GLS average fair value of 17.86. 2 of the 2 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.
The average is built from just 2 models (10 Cap, DDM) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
The nightly engine files ACINX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
Columbia Acorn International Inst 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. On durability ACINX scores 5.8/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 0.5%, ROE 1.0%, ROA 0.4% - with debt at 1.29 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 4.0%.
The dividend yield is high at 4.93% (payout ratio 0%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
