International General Insurance Holdings Ltd. (IGIC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Insurance - Diversified · Jordan · Speculative / Distressed
Is IGIC undervalued?
IGIC has a margin of safety of 63%: the stock closed at 24.52 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 65.72. 8 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.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 20.60 while GLS Growth gives 155.58. 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 IGIC 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.
Nine valuation models for IGIC
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 | 102.87 | +320% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 29.95 | +22% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 75.76 | +209% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 27.94 | +14% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 155.58 | +535% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 50.62 | +106% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 99.95 | +308% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 20.60 | -16% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 28.24 | +15% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -8.77 | -136% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 30.00 | +22% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: IGIC passes 3 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.1 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 17.9%, ROE 17.9%, ROA 6.1% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 5.71% (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 2/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 3 / 9 | ROIC | 17.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.1 / 10 | ROE | 17.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 6.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 2 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 45: Weak
IGIC scores 45 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50), capped at 45 because the engine files it as Speculative / Distressed. Value 25/25, Health 7/20, Moat 6/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 8/20. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 51% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 2,679 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 85k shares a day on a market cap of $1.0B, with a beta of 0.13 - 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 | 63% margin of safety | |
| Health | 7 / 20 | Piotroski 3/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 4.1/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 51% | |
| Stability | 8 / 20 | 85k shares/day, $1.0B cap, beta 0.13 |

The next earnings report is due on 3 Nov 2026 (after the close), 18 days away; a 30-45-day put sold today would expire after it, which is worth weighing against the premium.
