FMI International Fund Institutional Class (FMIYX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · High Yield Income
Is FMIYX undervalued?
FMIYX has a margin of safety of 57%: the stock closed at 38.31 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 88.42. 3 of the 3 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our screens 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.
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 FMIYX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
FMI International Fund Institutional Class 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 Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 2.6/10 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 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 12.07% (payout ratio 1%). 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 | 2.6 / 10 | ROE | -71.1% |
| Debt / equity | -14.12 | ROA | 4.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 4.1% | Payout ratio | 1% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on FMI International Fund Institutional Class in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at - a day on a market cap of $1.7B, 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 gives that 9 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 57% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 4 / 15 | moat 2.6/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 9 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $1.7B cap, beta 0.72 |
