Apollo Global Management, Inc. (APOS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is APOS undervalued?

Apollo Global Management, Inc. (APOS) closed at 25.48 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 3 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 266.64, which puts the price 90% below it. 3 of the 3 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.

The average is built from just 3 models (DCF, 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 APOS under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

Nine valuation models for APOS

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.

Quality and financial health

Apollo Global Management, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. 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. On durability APOS scores 6.0/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.

Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 9.5%, ROE 15.0%, ROA 0.8% - with debt at 0.57 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 11.0%.

The dividend yield is 1.75% at a payout ratio of -109%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold. Revenue comes mainly from Retirement Services 85%, Asset Management 15% (quarter Q2 FY2026).

Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 2/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 34: No options

No options are listed on Apollo Global Management, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 34, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.

Volume runs at 27k shares a day on a market cap of $72.5B, with a beta of 1.60 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that good.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.

Upcoming events
