Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (DOC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Real Estate · REIT - Healthcare Facilities · United States · High Yield Income
Is DOC undervalued?
At 18.96 (close of 16 Oct 2026), DOC trades 75% over the GLS average fair value of 10.83, with 1 of 9 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.
The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 1.08 while DCF gives 32.22. 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.
The nightly engine files DOC under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.
Nine valuation models for DOC
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 | 32.22 | +70% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 9.70 | -49% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 5.93 | -69% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 1.47 | -92% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1.08 | -94% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 16.82 | -11% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 8.23 | -57% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 17.95 | -5% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 4.09 | -78% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -15.90 | -184% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 22.00 | +16% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health DOC 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 low at 0.6 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 0.4%, ROE 1.0%, ROA 0.4% - with debt at 1.39 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 2.3%.
The dividend yield is high at 6.43% (payout ratio 333%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. 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. Revenue comes mainly from Outpatient Medical Buildings 42%, Senior Housing 29%, Lab 29% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 0.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 0.6 / 10 | ROE | 1.0% |
| Debt / equity | 1.39 | ROA | 0.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 2.3% | Payout ratio | 333% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 53: Fair
DOC scores 53 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 0/25, Health 16/20, Moat 1/15, Premium 17/20, Stability 20/20. Value (0/25) is where the points are missing.
Implied volatility is 32% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: some premium, but under the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for (17 of 20 points). Chain open interest is 27,437 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 5.7M shares a day on a market cap of $13.1B, with a beta of 0.99; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 20 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -75% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 1 / 15 | moat 0.6/10 | |
| Premium | 17 / 20 | implied volatility 32% | |
| Stability | 20 / 20 | 5.7M shares/day, $13.1B cap, beta 0.99 |

Upcoming events
Healthpeak Properties, Inc. reports earnings on 22 Oct 2026 (after the close) - inside the 14-day window the Sunday Scan avoids, because a put sold now would carry the report's gap risk. The shares go ex-dividend on 19 Oct 2026 (0.1017 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
