Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc. (GGT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol GGT · Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Blend Income
Is GGT undervalued?
GGT has a margin of safety of 81%: the stock closed at 3.66 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 19.61. 6 of the 7 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 7 models disagree widely: DCF gives 0.7447 while GLS Growth gives 43.94. 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, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for GGT, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 91, growth score 84, out of 100). It also carries the Income tag (Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).
Nine valuation models for GGT
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 | 0.7447 | -80% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 9.44 | +158% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 43.01 | +1075% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 18.80 | +414% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 43.94 | +1101% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | 12.95 | +254% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 8.36 | +128% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | 0.0052 | -100% | 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
Financial health is weak: GGT passes 4 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our scans drop the stock at the health filter; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is 6.0 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 high - ROIC 19.8%, ROE 19.8%, ROA 19.7% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 24.04% (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 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 19.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.0 / 10 | ROE | 19.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 19.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 32: No options
GGT 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" (32 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 218k shares a day on a market cap of $181M, with a beta of 0.93; 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 | 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 | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (under 6) |
| 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 | Fails | market cap $181M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 3.66 (under $5) |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |

| Moat | Good | moat 6.0/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 4/9 | |
