Frost Total Return Bond Fund Investor Class Shares (FATRX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is FATRX undervalued?

Frost Total Return Bond Fund Investor Class Shares (FATRX) closed at 9.17 on 16 Oct 2026, 16% above the GLS average fair value of 7.93. Only 0 of the 1 models that produced a number value the shares above the current price. The margin of safety is negative, so the stock fails the "below fair value" rule of the Sunday Scan; a premium of this size is common for companies whose growth the models are conservative about.

The average is built from just 1 models (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 FATRX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health

Frost Total Return Bond Fund Investor Class Shares scores only 4 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 4.1/10 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 moderate - ROIC 11.1%, ROE 11.1%, ROA 11.1% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.

The dividend yield is high at 5.88% (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.
