Abrdn Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (AOD): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · High Growth
Is AOD undervalued?
AOD has a margin of safety of 84%: the stock closed at 10.16 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 63.07. 6 of the 7 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our screens treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
The 7 models disagree widely: DCF gives 7.88 while Graham Growth gives 149.56. 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 AOD under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for AOD
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 | 7.88 | -22% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 24.90 | +145% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 149.56 | +1372% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 65.37 | +543% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 146.49 | +1342% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | 18.25 | +80% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 29.05 | +186% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -0.1004 | -101% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: AOD 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 2.9 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 high - ROIC 15.5%, ROE 15.6%, ROA 15.4% - with debt at 0.01 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 12.21% (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 3/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 15.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.9 / 10 | ROE | 15.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.01 | ROA | 15.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
AOD 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" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 414k shares a day on a market cap of $1.1B, with a beta of 0.91; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 84% margin of safety | |
| Health | 9 / 20 | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Moat | 4 / 15 | moat 2.9/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 12 / 20 | 414k shares/day, $1.1B cap, beta 0.91 |

Upcoming events
No upcoming earnings date is recorded for AOD in the nightly calendar. The shares go ex-dividend on 23 Oct 2026 (0.1000 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
