American Beacon AHL Managed Futures Strategy Fund - Investor Class (AHLPX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is AHLPX undervalued?

At 10.78 (close of 16 Oct 2026), AHLPX trades 52% over the GLS average fair value of 7.10, with 1 of 2 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.

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 AHLPX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

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.

Quality and financial health

American Beacon AHL Managed Futures Strategy Fund - Investor Class 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 4.5/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.

Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 2.9%, ROE 3.5%, ROA 2.9% - with debt at 0.18 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.6%.

The dividend yield is high at 6.98% (payout ratio 302%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. 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.

Wheel Score 29: No options

No options are listed on American Beacon AHL Managed Futures Strategy Fund - Investor Class in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 29) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.

Volume runs at - a day on a market cap of $1.8B, with a beta of 0.10 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 9 of 20.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.
