Amer Sports, Inc. (AS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Cyclical · Leisure · Finland · High Growth
Is AS undervalued?
At 29.94 (close of 16 Oct 2026), AS trades within a few percent of the GLS average fair value of 29.84 (exactly at fair value). 8 models produced a value and they split 4 above the price to 4 below. A stock priced at fair value earns about half of the Wheel Score's Value points; the rest of the score comes from health, moat, premium and stability.
The 8 models disagree widely: DCF gives 3.27 while GLS Growth gives 57.42. 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 AS under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for AS
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 3.27 | -89% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 15.77 | -47% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 49.57 | +66% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 21.36 | -29% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 57.42 | +92% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 34.27 | +14% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 46.63 | +56% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
On financial health AS scores 8/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 5.5 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 5.7%, ROE 7.4%, ROA 4.2% - with debt at 0.30 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.9%.
Amer Sports, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 3/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 5.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.5 / 10 | ROE | 7.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.30 | ROA | 4.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 3.9% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 3 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 76: Good
AS scores 76 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 65-79). The score blends the margin of safety (Value, 12/25), Piotroski health (18/20), the GLS moat (8/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (17/20). Value (12/25) is the part holding the score back.
Implied volatility is 50% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. The option chain is deep: 222,193 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 6.9M shares a day on a market cap of $17.4B, with a beta of 2.03 - 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 gives that 17 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 12 / 25 | -0% margin of safety | |
| Health | 18 / 20 | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.5/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 50% | |
| Stability | 17 / 20 | 6.9M shares/day, $17.4B cap, beta 2.03 |
