Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (IIPR): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Real Estate · REIT - Industrial · United States · High Yield Income
Is IIPR undervalued?
At 53.20 (close of 16 Oct 2026), IIPR trades 30% below the GLS average fair value of 76.13. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 7 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 14.18 while 10 Cap gives 138.13. 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 IIPR under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 53.45 | +0% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 84.24 | +58% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 77.90 | +46% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 19.25 | -64% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 14.18 | -73% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 138.13 | +160% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - IIPR passes 5 of the nine Piotroski tests, which falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.4 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 moderate - ROIC 5.1%, ROE 6.2%, ROA 4.8% - with debt at 0.21 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 13.4%.
The dividend yield is high at 14.29% (payout ratio 161%) - 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 9/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 5.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.4 / 10 | ROE | 6.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.21 | ROA | 4.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 13.4% | Payout ratio | 161% |
| Institutions | 9 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 74: Good
IIPR scores 74 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 65-79). The score blends the margin of safety (Value, 25/25), Piotroski health (11/20), the GLS moat (7/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (11/20). Moat (7/15) is the part holding the score back.
Implied volatility is 40% 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 20,512 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 363k shares a day on a market cap of $1.5B, with a beta of 1.42 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 11 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 30% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 7 / 15 | moat 4.4/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 40% | |
| Stability | 11 / 20 | 363k shares/day, $1.5B cap, beta 1.42 |
