Hilton Tactical Income Fund (HCYAX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management - Income · United States · High Yield Income
Is HCYAX undervalued?
At 18.34 (close of 16 Oct 2026), HCYAX trades within a few percent of the GLS average fair value of 17.36 (5.7% above fair value). 1 models produced a value and they split 0 above the price to 1 below. A stock priced at fair value earns about half of the Wheel Score's Value points; the rest of the score comes from health, moat, premium and stability.
The average is built from just 1 models (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 HCYAX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
Hilton Tactical Income Fund scores only 4 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 3.6/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC -7.4%, ROE -7.4%, ROA -7.3% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 6.43% (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 | 4 / 9 | ROIC | -7.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.6 / 10 | ROE | -7.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | -7.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 30: No options
No options are listed on Hilton Tactical Income Fund in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 30) 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 $128M, with a beta of 0.56 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 10 / 25 | -6% margin of safety | |
| Health | 9 / 20 | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Moat | 5 / 15 | moat 3.6/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $128M cap, beta 0.56 |
