GCM Grosvenor Inc. (GCMG): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol GCMG · Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Class A common stock · Growth
GCMG is GCM Grosvenor Inc.'s Class A common stock. The classes own the same business, share the same earnings report and trade within a few cents of each other; what differs is mainly the vote each share carries - the company's annual report sets out the voting rights.
Is GCMG undervalued?
GCMG has a margin of safety of 47%: the stock closed at 13.03 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 24.52. 5 of the 9 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.
The 9 models disagree widely: DCF gives 0.5912 while 10 Cap gives 65.05. 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, GCMG is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 38, growth score 61, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for GCMG
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 | 0.5912 | -95% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 2.61 | -80% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 32.79 | +152% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 13.67 | +5% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 28.49 | +119% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 65.05 | +399% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 62.34 | +378% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 7.06 | -46% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 8.10 | -38% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -5.43 | -142% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 16.25 | +25% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health GCMG 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. The GLS Moat score is 6.7 out of 10: a record that is solid on some of the four parts the score weighs (returns on capital, pricing power, lasting growth, balance sheet) and weaker on others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 8.9%, ROE 168.1%, ROA 5.6% - with debt at 17.79 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 24.1%. Debt of 17.79 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.
The dividend yield is 3.68% at a payout ratio of 67%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold. Revenue comes mainly from Asset Management 45%, Management Fees, Before Reimbursement R… 43%, Management Service, Incentive 5% (quarter Q1 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 6/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 30 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 8.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.7 / 10 | ROE | 168.1% |
| Debt / equity | 17.79 | ROA | 5.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 24.1% | Payout ratio | 67% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 6 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 49: Weak
GCMG scores 49 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (19 open interest, 9 a day); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $796M (under $1.0B), and the parts are thin too - value strong, premium strong, moat good, health good, red flags good, option trading weak, stability fair. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 67% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% top of the sweet spot. It still passes the 25-80% filter, but the Wheel Score rewards it less because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is thin - 19 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 860k shares a day on a market cap of $796M, with a beta of 0.92; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | options too quiet (19 open interest, 9 a day) |
| 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 | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $796M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 47% below fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 67% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.7/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Good | Red Flags score 85/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 9 contracts a day, 19 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.92, $796M company |
