F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. (FG): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Insurance - Life · United States · High Yield Income
Is FG undervalued?
At 19.61 (close of 16 Oct 2026), FG trades 90% below the GLS average fair value of 187.35. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 8 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 F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
There is a wide gap between DDM (14.71) and 10 Cap (736.56). 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 FG under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 255.14 | +1201% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 50.65 | +158% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 183.92 | +838% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 80.38 | +310% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 84.70 | +332% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 736.56 | +3656% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 244.36 | +1146% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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 4.7/10 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 3.8%, ROE 5.5%, ROA 0.3% - with debt at 0.47 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 180.5%.
The dividend yield is high at 5.10% (payout ratio 35%). 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. Revenue comes mainly from Reportable 100% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 14 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 3.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.7 / 10 | ROE | 5.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.47 | ROA | 0.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 180.5% | Payout ratio | 35% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 79: Good
With a Wheel Score of 79 - the Good band - F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. clears the Sunday Scan's "70 or higher" rule. The parts: Value 25/25, Health 13/20, Moat 7/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 14/20; Moat (7/15) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 53% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is thin - 1,841 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.
Volume runs at 556k shares a day on a market cap of $2.6B, with a beta of 1.26 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 14 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 90% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 7 / 15 | moat 4.7/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 53% | |
| Stability | 14 / 20 | 556k shares/day, $2.6B cap, beta 1.26 |
