Invesco Value Municipal Income Trust (IIM): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol IIM · Financial Services · Asset Management - Income · United States · Fund / Note
Is IIM undervalued?
Invesco Value Municipal Income Trust (IIM) closed at 11.31 on 5 Nov 2026, 12% above the GLS average fair value of 10.12. Only 2 of the 8 models that produced a number value the shares above the current price. The margin of safety is negative, so the stock fails the "below fair value" Wheel Trade Filter; a premium of this size is common for companies whose growth the models are conservative about.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (2.13) and Graham Growth (22.62). 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.
IIM looks like a fund, note or preferred share rather than an operating company, so the nightly engine files it under Fund / Note: the valuation models are not built for it, and its Wheel Score is capped at 45.
Nine valuation models for IIM
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 10.61 | -6% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 22.62 | +100% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 9.89 | -13% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 2.13 | -81% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 8.64 | -24% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 9.09 | -20% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 13.61 | +20% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 4.39 | -61% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -6.45 | -157% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Invesco Value Municipal Income Trust scores 8 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 "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. There is no GLS Moat score for IIM: funds, notes and second share lines get none, and so does a company with fewer than two years of accounts on file. The Moat part of the Wheel Score is zero.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 2.1%, ROE 3.1%, ROA 2.1% - with debt at 0.51 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.8%.
The dividend yield is high at 8.18% (payout ratio 233%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. 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 | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 2.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | - / 10 | ROE | 3.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.51 | ROA | 2.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 3.8% | Payout ratio | 233% |
| Institutions | 2 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 16: No options
No options are listed on Invesco Value Municipal Income Trust in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 16, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 140k shares a day on a market cap of $532M, with a beta of 0.80 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

|---|---|---|---|

| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Fails | a fund or note, not a company |

| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $532M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
