Boston Trust Walden Small Cap Fund (BOSOX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Blend
Is BOSOX undervalued?
BOSOX closed at 18.68 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 10.76. Only 0 of the 1 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the Sunday Scan drops names like this at the "below fair value" rule.
The average is built from just 1 models (DDM) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.

Quality and financial health
Boston Trust Walden Small Cap Fund scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of 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 4.3/10 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 -1.1%, ROE -1.3%, ROA -0.9% - with debt at 0.16 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 3.91% at a payout ratio of 0%; 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.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
