LifeVantage Corporation (LFVN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Packaged Foods · United States · Defensive
Is LFVN undervalued?
At 6.00 (close of 16 Oct 2026), LFVN trades within a few percent of the GLS average fair value of 6.13 (2.2% below fair value). 9 models produced a value and they split 4 above the price to 5 below. A stock priced at fair value earns about half of the Wheel Score's Value points; the rest of the score comes from health, moat, premium and stability.
The 9 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 1.62 while 10 Cap gives 13.94. 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 LFVN under Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.
Nine valuation models for LFVN
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 | 6.30 | +5% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 4.94 | -18% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 6.53 | +9% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 1.62 | -73% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 2.84 | -53% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 13.94 | +132% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 11.75 | +96% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 2.80 | -53% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 4.50 | -25% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |

| Wall St target | 6.00 | 0% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - LFVN 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 3.9 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 11.7%, ROE 15.1%, ROA 8.2% - with debt at 0.29 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 8.8%.
The dividend yield is 3.17% at a payout ratio of 46%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold. Revenue comes mainly from Protandim 94%, Product and Service, Other 6% (quarter Q4 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 8/10, insider activity 3/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 11.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.9 / 10 | ROE | 15.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.29 | ROA | 8.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 8.8% | Payout ratio | 46% |
| Institutions | 8 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 3 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 50: Fair
LFVN scores 50 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 13/25, Health 11/20, Moat 6/15, Premium 14/20, Stability 6/20. Stability (6/20) is where the points are missing.
Implied volatility is 85% 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 (14 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 2,502 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 41k shares a day on a market cap of $76M, with a beta of 0.71 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 13 / 25 | 2% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 3.9/10 | |
| Premium | 14 / 20 | implied volatility 85% | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 41k shares/day, $76M cap, beta 0.71 |
