Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (ECCV): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · ADR · Speculative / Distressed
Is ECCV undervalued?
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (ECCV) closed at 23.86 on 16 Oct 2026, 69% above the GLS average fair value of 14.09. 2 of the 2 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.
The average is built from just 2 models (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.
The nightly engine files ECCV 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 ECCV
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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 | 11.71 | -51% | 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 |
| DDM | 16.48 | -31% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | - | - | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. scores only 0 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. A GLS Moat score of 1.0/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -13.1%, ROE -17.9%, ROA -9.6% - with debt at 0.37 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 20.2%.
The dividend yield is high at 38.62% (payout ratio -110%). 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 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 0 / 9 | ROIC | -13.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.0 / 10 | ROE | -17.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.37 | ROA | -9.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 20.2% | Payout ratio | -110% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 8: No options
No options are listed on Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 8) 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 3k shares a day on a market cap of $385M, with a beta of 0.19 - 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.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -69% margin of safety | |
| Health | 0 / 20 | Piotroski 0/9 | |
| Moat | 2 / 15 | moat 1.0/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 3k shares/day, $385M cap, beta 0.19 |
