Athene Holding Ltd. 7.250% Fixe (ATHS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol ATHS · Financial Services · Insurance - Life · United States · Fund / Note
Is ATHS undervalued?
ATHS has a margin of safety of 80%: the stock closed at 23.28 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 118.56. 8 of the 9 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans 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 9 models disagree widely: DCF gives 12.06 while GLS Growth gives 256.96. 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.
ATHS 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 ATHS
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 | 12.06 | -48% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 91.51 | +293% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 149.77 | +543% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 58.75 | +152% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 256.96 | +1004% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 192.95 | +729% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 235.10 | +910% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 23.36 | +0% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 46.64 | +100% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -1,028.13 | -4516% | 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 average - ATHS 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 ATHS: 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 moderate - ROIC 9.6%, ROE 13.2%, ROA 0.6% - with debt at 0.38 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 26.7%.
The dividend yield is high at 7.00% (payout ratio 100%). 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. Revenue comes mainly from Reportable 100% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
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 | 9.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | - / 10 | ROE | 13.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.38 | ROA | 0.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 26.7% | Payout ratio | 100% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 27: No options
ATHS 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" (27 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 55k shares a day on a market cap of $4.5B, with a beta of 1.76 - 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 fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Fails | a fund or note, not a company |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 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 |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 80% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Weak | no moat score | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | not scored yet - half marks | |
| Option trading | Weak | no option volume data | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 1.76, $4.5B company |
