Clarivate Plc (CLVT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol CLVT · Technology · Information Technology Services · United Kingdom · Speculative
Is CLVT undervalued?
Clarivate Plc (CLVT) closed at 2.12 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 1 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 12.19, which puts the price 83% below it. 1 of the 1 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
The average is built from just 1 models (10 Cap) - 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.
The nightly engine files CLVT under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for CLVT
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.

| Graham Number | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |
| GLS Growth | - | - | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year; no value tonight |
| 10 Cap | 12.19 | +475% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Clarivate Plc scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. 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 3.0/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -2.2%, ROE -4.2%, ROA -1.8% - with debt at 0.92 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 23.8%.
Clarivate Plc pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Recurring Revenues 50%, Subscription Revenues 39%, Re occurring Revenues 11% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 3/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 7 Aug 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | -2.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.0 / 10 | ROE | -4.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.92 | ROA | -1.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 23.8% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 3 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 38: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 38 Clarivate Plc sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 2, a real business, not a gamble - speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score); and filter 5, can repay its debt - 6.9 years to repay its debt (over 3); and filter 6, no serious red flags - Red Flags score 40 (under 60); and filter 9, not a penny stock - price 2.12 (under $5); Red Flags (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 72% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% top of the sweet spot. It still passes the 25-80% filter, but the Wheel Score rewards it less because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 2,943 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 8.0M shares a day on a market cap of $1.4B, with a beta of 1.39 - 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 | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded a day |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Fails | speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score) |
| 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 | Fails | 6.9 years to repay its debt (over 3) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Fails | Red Flags score 40 (under 60) |
| 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 | Fails | price 2.12 (under $5) |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 83% below fair value | |
| Premium | Good | implied volatility 72% | |
| Moat | Weak | moat 3.0/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Red Flags | Weak | Red Flags score 40/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 714 contracts a day, 2,943 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 1.39, $1.4B company |
