The Marketing Alliance, Inc. (MAAL): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol MAAL · Financial Services · Insurance - Brokers · United States · Value
Is MAAL undervalued?
At 1.58 (close of 5 Nov 2026), MAAL trades 69% below the GLS average fair value of 5.14. That average comes from 8 models run on the latest filings, and 6 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 The Marketing Alliance, Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (0.9237) and 10 Cap (13.17). 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, MAAL is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 89, growth score 12, out of 100).

Quality and financial health

On durability MAAL scores 5.4/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 10.9%, ROE 12.4%, ROA 5.2% - with debt at 0.13 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 10.8%.
The Marketing Alliance, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.

Wheel Score 35: No options
No options are listed on The Marketing Alliance, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 35, 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.
