Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (CRT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is CRT undervalued?

Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (CRT) closed at 12.86 on 16 Oct 2026, 82% above the GLS average fair value of 7.07. 6 of the 7 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.

There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (1.55) and DCF (19.84). 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 CRT under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

Nine valuation models for CRT

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.

Quality and financial health

Cross Timbers Royalty Trust scores only 3 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. On durability CRT scores 5.4/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.

Returns on capital are high - ROIC 208.1%, ROE 208.1%, ROA 104.5% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.

The dividend yield is high at 5.04% (payout ratio 0%). 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 2/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 13 Oct 2026.

Wheel Score 21: No options

No options are listed on Cross Timbers Royalty Trust in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 21) 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 32k shares a day on a market cap of $77M, with a beta of -0.02 - 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.

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.
