Ticker symbol BAM · Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Class A common stock · Growth
BAM is Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.'s Class A common stock. The classes own the same business, share the same earnings report and trade within a few cents of each other; what differs is mainly the vote each share carries - the company's annual report sets out the voting rights.
Is BAM undervalued?
Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (BAM) closed at 54.11 on 5 Nov 2026, 99% above the GLS average fair value of 27.25. 8 of the 9 models that produced a number value the shares below the current price. A gap this wide usually means the market is paying for growth or a story the trailing numbers do not show yet; the models work from filed results, not forecasts, so they are conservative by design.
The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 5.04 while Graham Growth gives 63.64. 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, BAM is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 10, growth score 45, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for BAM
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 | 22.89 | -58% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 13.44 | -75% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 63.64 | +18% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 25.23 | -53% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 5.04 | -91% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 38.04 | -30% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 29.51 | -45% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 28.32 | -48% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 19.12 | -65% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -0.9648 | -102% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 55.08 | +2% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: BAM passes 4 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our scans drop the stock at the health filter; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is 7.2 out of 10: a record that is solid on some of the four parts the score weighs (returns on capital, pricing power, lasting growth, balance sheet) and weaker on others.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 22.5%, ROE 30.6%, ROA 14.6% - with debt at 0.36 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.9%.
The dividend yield is 3.55% 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 Infrastructure 34%, Real estate 23%, Energy 22% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 22.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.2 / 10 | ROE | 30.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.36 | ROA | 14.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 2.9% | Payout ratio | 109% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: Weak
BAM scores 39 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 3, below fair value - trades 99% above our fair value; and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 4/9 (under 6), and the parts are thin too - value weak, premium strong, moat good, health fair, red flags fair, option trading fair, stability strong. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 35% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% sweet spot the Wheel Score rewards most: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 27,945 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 3.3M shares a day on a market cap of $86.4B, with a beta of 1.26 - 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 strong.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded a day |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Fails | trades 99% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (under 6) |
| 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 | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 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 | Weak | 99% above fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 35% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 7.2/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | Red Flags score 75/100 | |
| Option trading | Fair | 1,609 contracts a day, 27,945 open interest | |
