Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (EIC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is EIC undervalued?

EIC has a margin of safety of 77%: the stock closed at 8.83 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 38.54. 3 of the 3 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.

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.

The nightly engine files EIC under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan. It also carries the Income tag (Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).

Nine valuation models for EIC

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

Eagle Point Income Company Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 3.7/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.

Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -0.3%, ROE -0.4%, ROA -0.3% - with debt at 0.46 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 33.4%.

The dividend yield is high at 15.40% (payout ratio -536%). 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.

Wheel Score 30: No options

No options are listed on Eagle Point Income Company Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 30, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.

Volume runs at 269k shares a day on a market cap of $207M, with a beta of 0.31 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.

Upcoming events

No upcoming earnings date is recorded for EIC in the nightly calendar. The shares go ex-dividend on 10 Nov 2026 (0.1100 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
