Adirondack Small Cap Fund (ADKSX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · High Yield Income
Is ADKSX undervalued?
ADKSX has a margin of safety of 100%: the stock closed at 37.51 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 31,861.81. 2 of the 3 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our screens treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
The average is built from just 3 models (DCF, 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 ADKSX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
Adirondack Small Cap Fund 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 8.8/10 puts ADKSX among the more durable businesses we track: over ten years the metrics the score watches (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, ROIC) have mostly moved the right way, year after year.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 31.4%, ROE 31.6%, ROA 16.4% - with debt at 0.01 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 4.0%.
The dividend yield is high at 7.22% (payout ratio 50%). 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.

| Debt / equity | 0.01 | ROA | 16.4% |
