Alphabet Inc. Depository Shs Repr 1/20th Conv Pfd Registered Shs (GOOGM): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Communication Services · Internet Content & Information · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is GOOGM undervalued?
GOOGM has a margin of safety of 57%: the stock closed at 49.63 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 116.77. 7 of the 9 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.
There is a wide gap between DDM (12.65) and GLS Growth (177.04). 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.
The nightly engine files GOOGM under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

Quality and financial health
Alphabet Inc. Depository Shs Repr 1/20th Conv Pfd Registered Shs scores only 0 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 9.6/10 puts GOOGM among the more durable businesses we track: over ten years the metrics the score watches (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, ROIC) have mostly moved the right way, year after year.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 27.9%, ROE 31.8%, ROA 22.2% - with debt at 0.14 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 1.3%.
The dividend yield is 0.25% with a payout ratio of 4% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 10/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 0 / 9 | ROIC | 27.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 9.6 / 10 | ROE | 31.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.14 | ROA | 22.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 1.3% | Payout ratio | 4% |

Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on Alphabet Inc. Depository Shs Repr 1/20th Conv Pfd Registered Shs 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 567k shares a day on a market cap of $291.2B, with a beta of -1.20 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 17 of 20.

|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 57% margin of safety | |
