Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (IVFH): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Food Distribution · United States · Value
Is IVFH undervalued?
At 0.1400 (close of 16 Oct 2026), IVFH trades 17% under the GLS average fair value of 0.1683. 5 of the 8 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS screen; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (0.0274) and DCF (0.3384). 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.
The nightly engine files IVFH under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Quality and financial health
Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. 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 Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 1.3/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -28.9%, ROE -33.1%, ROA -10.5% - with debt at 0.15 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.0%.
Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Direct To Consumer 74%, Other Services 26% (fiscal year FY2024).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 4/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 14 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | -28.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.3 / 10 | ROE | -33.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.15 | ROA | -10.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 4 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 273k shares a day on a market cap of $8M, with a beta of 0.26 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 9 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 20 / 25 | 17% margin of safety | |
| Health | 18 / 20 | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Moat | 2 / 15 | moat 1.3/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 9 / 20 | 273k shares/day, $8M cap, beta 0.26 |
