Is AGYS undervalued?
Agilysys, Inc. (AGYS) closed at 113.42 on 16 Oct 2026, 54% above the GLS average fair value of 73.75. 7 of the 8 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 8 models disagree widely: EPV gives 16.96 while DCF gives 154.65. 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.
The nightly engine files AGYS under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for AGYS
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 154.65 | +36% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 20.33 | -82% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 87.31 | -23% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 38.16 | -66% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 93.44 | -18% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 65.79 | -42% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 113.35 | -0% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 16.96 | -85% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | 1.04 | -99% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 120.75 | +6% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health AGYS scores 8/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 6.3 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 11.2%, ROE 11.9%, ROA 8.1% - with debt at 0.06 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.5%.
Agilysys, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Professional Services 66%, Product 35% (quarter Q1 FY2027).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 11.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.3 / 10 | ROE | 11.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.06 | ROA | 8.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 2.5% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 59: Fair
AGYS scores 59 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 0/25, Health 18/20, Moat 9/15, Premium 18/20, Stability 13/20. Value (0/25) is where the points are missing.
Implied volatility is 66% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (18 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 806 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 333k shares a day on a market cap of $3.2B, with a beta of 0.36 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 13 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -54% margin of safety | |
| Health | 18 / 20 | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Moat | 9 / 15 | moat 6.3/10 | |
| Premium | 18 / 20 | implied volatility 66% | |
| Stability | 13 / 20 | 333k shares/day, $3.2B cap, beta 0.36 |
