Is BR undervalued?
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (BR) closed at 189.29 on 5 Nov 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 184.86 (2.4% above fair value). 5 of the 9 models that produced a number sit above the price, 4 below - the market and our models roughly agree. With little margin of safety either way, the case for or against the stock rests on the quality numbers and the option premium rather than on price.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 59.08 while Payback Time gives 357.74. 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, BR is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 27, growth score 56, out of 100). It also carries the Quality tag (Quality = moat 7.5+ out of 10 and Piotroski 7+).
Nine valuation models for BR
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 | 194.33 | +3% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 69.30 | -63% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 262.67 | +39% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 94.90 | -50% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 228.31 | +21% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 294.37 | +56% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 357.74 | +89% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 59.08 | -69% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 103.07 | -46% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -38.59 | -120% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 199.00 | +5% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health BR scores 7/9 (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 8.0 out of 10 - high returns on capital, steady margins and growth that held up through bad years point to a durable business.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 17.7%, ROE 39.6%, ROA 12.6% - with debt at 1.24 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 6.4%.
The dividend yield is 2.12% at a payout ratio of 43%; 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 Recurring Fee Revenue 70%, Distribution Revenue 27%, Event Driven Revenue 3% (quarter Q4 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 6/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 17.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 8.0 / 10 | ROE | 39.6% |
| Debt / equity | 1.24 | ROA | 12.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 6.4% | Payout ratio | 43% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 6 / 10 |
Wheel Score 41: Weak
BR scores 41 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 3, below fair value - trades 2% above our fair value, and the parts are thin too - value weak, premium strong, moat strong, health good, red flags strong, option trading weak, 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 33% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: enough to pass the 25-80% Wheel Trade Filter, but under the 35-60% sweet spot the score rewards most. Chain open interest is 7,001 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 2.0M shares a day on a market cap of $21.4B, with a beta of 0.91; 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 2% above our fair value |
| 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 | 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 | 2% above fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 33% | |
| Moat | Strong | moat 8.0/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Strong | Red Flags score 90/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 362 contracts a day, 7,001 open interest | |
| Stability | Strong | beta 0.91, $21.4B company |
