Artisan Mid Cap Fund Inv Shs (ARTMX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol ARTMX · Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Fund / Note
Is ARTMX undervalued?
ARTMX closed at 34.25 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 37.00 - 7.4% below fair value, which our scans read as "fairly priced". 3 of 9 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.
The 9 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 4.61 while DDM gives 93.12. 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.
ARTMX looks like a fund, note or preferred share rather than an operating company, so the nightly engine files it under Fund / Note: the valuation models are not built for it, and its Wheel Score is capped at 45.
Nine valuation models for ARTMX
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.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 30.46 | -11% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 12.32 | -64% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 26.08 | -24% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 4.61 | -87% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 23.42 | -32% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 59.54 | +74% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 60.67 | +77% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 93.12 | +172% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 22.80 | -33% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - ARTMX passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. There is no GLS Moat score for ARTMX: funds, notes and second share lines get none, and so does a company with fewer than two years of accounts on file. The Moat part of the Wheel Score is zero.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 32.8%, ROE 62.4%, ROA 14.4% - with debt at 0.91 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 8.3%.
The dividend yield is high at 18.48% (payout ratio 91%). 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 | 32.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | - / 10 | ROE | 62.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.91 | ROA | 14.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 8.3% | Payout ratio | 91% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 17: No options
ARTMX has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business. It fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade), so the score stays under 70 and is shown as "No options" (17 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at - a day on a market cap of $2.9B, with a beta of 1.17; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
