IDT Corporation (IDT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Communication Services · Telecommunications Services · United States · Blend
Is IDT undervalued?
At 82.24 (close of 16 Oct 2026), IDT trades 19% over the GLS average fair value of 69.06. 5 of the 9 models land above the price and 4 below. A negative margin of safety costs Value points in the Wheel Score (5 of 25 here) - the models see no discount, which does not make the business a poor one, only the price a full one.
There is a wide gap between DDM (3.97) and GLS Growth (143.42). 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.

Quality and financial health
IDT Corporation scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. On durability IDT scores 6.4/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 22.9%, ROE 23.0%, ROA 11.3% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.3%.
The dividend yield is 0.33% with a payout ratio of 8% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Traditional Communications 71%, Fintech 15%, National Retail Solutions 14% (quarter Q4 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 7/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 22.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.4 / 10 | ROE | 23.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 11.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 3.3% | Payout ratio | 8% |
| Institutions | 7 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 59: Fair
A Wheel Score of 59 puts IDT Corporation in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 5/25, Health 16/20, Moat 10/15, Premium 18/20 and Stability 11/20; the weakest part is Value (5/25).
Implied volatility is 33% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: some premium, but under the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for (18 of 20 points). Chain open interest is 2,262 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 233k shares a day on a market cap of $2.0B, with a beta of 0.60 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 11 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 5 / 25 | -19% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 10 / 15 | moat 6.4/10 | |
| Premium | 18 / 20 | implied volatility 33% | |
| Stability | 11 / 20 | 233k shares/day, $2.0B cap, beta 0.60 |
