Yorkville Acquisition Corp. (MCGA): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Shell Companies · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is MCGA undervalued?
MCGA closed at 10.37 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 2.41. Only 0 of the 5 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.
The 5 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 0.5015 while Graham Number gives 6.20. 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 MCGA under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for MCGA
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 6.20 | -40% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 2.76 | -73% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 0.6854 | -93% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.5015 | -95% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 1.90 | -82% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -0.3827 | -104% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: MCGA passes 2 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is low at 0.0 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 thin or negative - ROIC -7.4%, ROE -7.4%, ROA 0.3% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Yorkville Acquisition Corp. 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 10/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 2 / 9 | ROIC | -7.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 0.0 / 10 | ROE | -7.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 0.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -0.3% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 34: Weak
MCGA scores 34 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50). Value 0/25, Health 4/20, Moat 0/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 10/20. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 51% 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 7,403 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 378k shares a day on a market cap of $185M, with a beta of 0.01 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 10 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -330% margin of safety | |
| Health | 4 / 20 | Piotroski 2/9 | |
| Moat | 0 / 15 | moat 0.0/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 51% | |
| Stability | 10 / 20 | 378k shares/day, $185M cap, beta 0.01 |
