Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities - Class A (EADOX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is EADOX undervalued?
EADOX closed at 8.62 on 16 Oct 2026, which is 17% above the GLS average fair value of 7.35 from 7 models. 5 of them value the shares below today's price. Our screens read that as "no margin of safety": the stock is not a value candidate at this price, whatever the quality numbers say.
There is a wide gap between DCF (0.1898) and Graham Growth (19.47). 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 EADOX 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.

| Lynch | 8.51 | -1% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 2.98 | -65% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities - Class A scores only 2 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 EADOX scores 5.2/10 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 15.1%, ROE 15.1%, ROA 14.8% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 9.75% (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 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 2 / 9 | ROIC | 15.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.2 / 10 | ROE | 15.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 14.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
