Klaviyo, Inc. (KVYO): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Technology · Software - Application · United States · High Growth
Is KVYO undervalued?
KVYO closed at 18.09 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 6.29. Only 1 of the 8 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the Sunday Scan drops names like this at the "below fair value" rule.
There is a wide gap between EPV (0.2542) and DCF (26.22). 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 KVYO under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for KVYO
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 | 26.22 | +45% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 1.29 | -93% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 1.06 | -94% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 0.4456 | -98% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1.40 | -92% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 17.37 | -4% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 2.26 | -87% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Klaviyo, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 4.5/10 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 -2.4%, ROE -2.7%, ROA -2.0% - with debt at 0.10 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 4.5%.
Klaviyo, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 6/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | -2.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.5 / 10 | ROE | -2.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.10 | ROA | -2.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 4.5% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 6 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 50: Fair
A Wheel Score of 50 puts Klaviyo, Inc. in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 0/25, Health 11/20, Moat 7/15, Premium 13/20 and Stability 19/20; the weakest part is Value (0/25).
Implied volatility is 88% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (13 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. The option chain is deep: 77,092 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 5.5M shares a day on a market cap of $5.4B, with a beta of 0.57 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 19 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -188% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 7 / 15 | moat 4.5/10 | |
| Premium | 13 / 20 | implied volatility 88% | |
| Stability | 19 / 20 | 5.5M shares/day, $5.4B cap, beta 0.57 |
