Frontier MFG Core Infrastructure Fund Service Class (FCIVX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is FCIVX undervalued?
At 12.87 (close of 16 Oct 2026), FCIVX trades 56% below the GLS average fair value of 29.24. That average comes from 3 models run on the latest filings, and 2 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns Frontier MFG Core Infrastructure Fund Service Class the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
Only 3 of the nine models produced a value (DCF, 10 Cap, DDM); the others need a dividend, positive free cash flow or positive book value the company does not have yet, so the average rests on a narrow base.
The nightly engine files FCIVX 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.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: FCIVX passes 0 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.9 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 moderate - ROIC 10.2%, ROE 10.2%, ROA 7.7% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 5.1%.
The dividend yield is high at 33.18% (payout ratio 13%). 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 | 0 / 9 | ROIC | 10.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.9 / 10 | ROE | 10.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 7.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 5.1% | Payout ratio | 13% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 38: No options
FCIVX has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (38 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at - a day on a market cap of $67M, with a beta of 0.54 - 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 | 25 / 25 | 56% margin of safety | |
| Health | 0 / 20 | Piotroski 0/9 | |
| Moat | 7 / 15 | moat 4.9/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $67M cap, beta 0.54 |
