Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FMCKL): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol FMCKL · Financial Services · Financial - Mortgages · United States · Value
Is FMCKL undervalued?
FMCKL has a margin of safety of 97%: the stock closed at 5.79 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 167.49. 8 of the 8 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.
There is a wide gap between Lynch (22.02) and DCF (814.21). 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, FMCKL is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 97, growth score 55, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for FMCKL
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.

| Lynch | 22.02 | +280% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 85.90 | +1384% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 109.85 | +1797% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 109.58 | +1793% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. On durability FMCKL scores 6.4/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 0.3%, ROE 15.2%, ROA 0.3% - with debt at 48.38 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 473.7%. Debt of 48.38 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Single Family Guarantee 86%, Multifamily 14% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.4 / 10 | ROE | 15.2% |
| Debt / equity | 48.38 | ROA | 0.3% |

| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 34: No options
No options are listed on Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 34, 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 7k shares a day on a market cap of $2.4B, with a beta of 1.67 - 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 rates that weak.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
