FMI International Fund (FMIJX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol FMIJX · Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Fund / Note
Is FMIJX undervalued?
FMIJX closed at 39.62 on 5 Nov 2026, 12% below the GLS average fair value of 45.10 from 8 models (4 of them above the price). That is a moderate margin of safety: the stock passes the "below fair value" Wheel Trade Filter, with room for a bigger discount on the Value part.
The 8 models disagree widely: EPV gives 13.55 while GLS Growth gives 74.64. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
FMIJX looks like a fund, note or preferred share rather than an operating company, so the nightly engine files it under Fund / Note: the valuation models are not built for it, and its Wheel Score is capped at 45.
Nine valuation models for FMIJX
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 46.91 | +18% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | 69.74 | +76% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 30.48 | -23% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 74.64 | +88% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 24.82 | -37% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 33.60 | -15% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 67.08 | +69% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 13.55 | -66% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -55.33 | -240% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health FMIJX scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. There is no GLS Moat score for FMIJX: funds, notes and second share lines get none, and so does a company with fewer than two years of accounts on file. The Moat part of the Wheel Score is zero.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 5.4%, ROE -71.1%, ROA 4.1% - with debt at -14.12 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 4.1%.
The dividend yield is high at 11.51% (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.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 5.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | - / 10 | ROE | -71.1% |
| Debt / equity | -14.12 | ROA | 4.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 4.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 21: No options
FMIJX has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business. It fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade), so the score stays under 70 and is shown as "No options" (21 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at - a day on a market cap of $1.8B, with a beta of 0.72 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Fails | a fund or note, not a company |
| 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 |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Fair | 12% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Weak | no moat score | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | not scored yet - half marks | |
| Option trading | Weak | no option volume data | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.72, $1.8B company |
