American Funds American Mutual F1 (AMFFX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is AMFFX undervalued?

AMFFX closed at 64.37 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 34.13. Only 1 of the 2 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the Sunday Scan drops names like this at the "below fair value" rule.

Only 2 of the nine models produced a value (10 Cap, DDM); the others need a dividend, positive free cash flow or positive book value the company does not have yet, so the average rests on a narrow base.

The nightly engine files AMFFX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health

Financial health is weak: AMFFX passes 4 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is low at 3.9 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.

Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 3.5%, ROE 4.5%, ROA 1.3% - with debt at 0.29 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 0.1%.

The dividend yield is high at 6.91% (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.

Wheel Score 27: No options

AMFFX has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (27 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.

Volume runs at - a day on a market cap of $78.1B, with a beta of 0.71 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.
