DoubleLine Low Duration Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund Class N (DELNX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is DELNX undervalued?

DoubleLine Low Duration Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund Class N (DELNX) closed at 9.54 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 3 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 111.17, which puts the price 91% below it. 1 of the 3 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 3 models (DCF, 10 Cap, 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.

DELNX looks like a fund, note or preferred share rather than an operating company, so the nightly engine files it under Fund / Note: the valuation models are not built for it, and its Wheel Score is capped at 45.

The dividend yield is high at 4.64% (payout ratio -218%). 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.
