Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund (BGX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · High Yield Income
Is BGX undervalued?
BGX closed at 10.45 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 11.20 - 6.7% below fair value, which our screens read as "fairly priced". 4 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.
There is a wide gap between EPV (1.58) and 10 Cap (27.96). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.
The nightly engine files BGX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.
Nine valuation models for BGX
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 | 17.08 | +63% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 6.25 | -40% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 8.13 | -22% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 3.56 | -66% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 8.15 | -22% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 27.96 | +168% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 13.77 | +32% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 14.33 | +37% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 1.58 | -85% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -6.49 | -162% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. A GLS Moat score of 2.9/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 3.7%, ROE 5.5%, ROA 3.6% - with debt at 0.49 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 13.4%.
The dividend yield is high at 9.32% (payout ratio 688%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. 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 6/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 3.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.9 / 10 | ROE | 5.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.49 | ROA | 3.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 13.4% | Payout ratio | 688% |
| Institutions | 6 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 81k shares a day on a market cap of $133M, with a beta of 0.42 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 15 / 25 | 7% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 4 / 15 | moat 2.9/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 81k shares/day, $133M cap, beta 0.42 |
The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.
