Allegion plc (ALLE): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Security & Protection Services · Ireland · Blend
Is ALLE undervalued?
Allegion plc (ALLE) closed at 155.75 on 16 Oct 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 168.32 (7.5% below fair value). 5 of the 9 models that produced a number sit above the price, 4 below - the market and our models roughly agree. With little margin of safety either way, the case for or against the stock rests on the quality numbers and the option premium rather than on price.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 31.78 while GLS Growth gives 319.75. 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.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - ALLE passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is 8.7 out of 10, built from ten years of revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, share count and returns on capital scored for consistency - a high reading that points to a durable business.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 14.8%, ROE 31.1%, ROA 12.3% - with debt at 1.10 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 5.1%.
The dividend yield is 1.39% with a payout ratio of 28% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Product 94%, Non Mechanical Product Revenues [Domain] 6% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 2/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 14.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 8.7 / 10 | ROE | 31.1% |
| Debt / equity | 1.10 | ROA | 12.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 5.1% | Payout ratio | 28% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 2 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 80: Prime
ALLE scores 80 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Prime band (80 and above), which fewer than one stock in twenty reaches on any night. The score blends five things a wheel trader checks before selling a cash-secured put: the margin of safety (Value, 16/25), Piotroski health (13/20), the GLS moat (13/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (19/20).
Implied volatility is 37% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 8,812 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 1.1M shares a day on a market cap of $13.2B, with a beta of 0.82; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 19 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 16 / 25 | 7% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 13 / 15 | moat 8.7/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 37% | |
| Stability | 19 / 20 | 1.1M shares/day, $13.2B cap, beta 0.82 |
