DGA Core Plus Absolute Return ETF (HF): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Quality / Blue-Chip
Is HF undervalued?
DGA Core Plus Absolute Return ETF (HF) closed at 22.57 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 59.58, which puts the price 62% below it. 8 of the 9 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 2.92 while Payback Time gives 106.33. 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.
The nightly engine files HF under Quality / Blue-Chip: a high moat score and a high health score together.

Quality and financial health
On financial health HF scores 8/9 (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 7.5 out of 10, built from ten years of revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, share count and returns on capital scored for consistency - a high reading that points to a durable business.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 32.7%, ROE 33.1%, ROA 13.5% - with debt at 0.01 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 15.8%.
The dividend yield is 0.88% with a payout ratio of 0% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 32.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.5 / 10 | ROE | 33.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.01 | ROA | 13.5% |

| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
HF has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $884M, with a beta of 0.42 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 8 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 62% margin of safety | |
| Health | 18 / 20 | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Moat | 11 / 15 | moat 7.5/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 8 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $884M cap, beta 0.42 |
