AMCAP Fund F-1 (AMPFX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · High Yield Income
Is AMPFX undervalued?
AMCAP Fund F-1 (AMPFX) closed at 44.65 on 16 Oct 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 46.40 (3.8% below fair value). 2 of the 3 models that produced a number sit above the price, 1 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.
Only 3 of the nine models produced a value (DCF, 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 AMPFX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - AMPFX 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 5.0 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 11.7%, ROE 11.9%, ROA 9.2% - with debt at 0.02 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 0.1%.
The dividend yield is high at 12.74% (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.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 11.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.0 / 10 | ROE | 11.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.02 | ROA | 9.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
