Is FIDZX undervalued?
Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund Class Z (FIDZX) closed at 36.66 on 16 Oct 2026, 41% above the GLS average fair value of 26.01. 2 of the 3 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 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 FIDZX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund Class Z 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 8.1/10 puts FIDZX among the more durable businesses we track: over ten years the metrics the score watches (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, ROIC) have mostly moved the right way, year after year.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 11.5%, ROE 16.0%, ROA 8.1% - with debt at 0.39 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 0.8%.
The dividend yield is high at 5.47% (payout ratio 20%). 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 | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 11.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 8.1 / 10 | ROE | 16.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.39 | ROA | 8.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.8% | Payout ratio | 20% |
