BlackRock MuniYield New York Quality Fund, Inc. (MYN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is MYN undervalued?

BlackRock MuniYield New York Quality Fund, Inc. (MYN) closed at 8.86 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 11.98, so the price sits 26% below it. 6 of the 8 models value the shares above the current price. A margin of safety between 10% and 30% is where most of the Sunday Scan candidates come from.

The 8 models disagree widely: EPV gives 4.17 while GLS Growth gives 22.97. 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 MYN under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health

On financial health MYN scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.0 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 2.1%, ROE 3.5%, ROA 2.0% - with debt at 0.72 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.7%.

The dividend yield is high at 6.93% (payout ratio 102%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual.

Institutional ownership scores 8/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 39: No options

MYN has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.

Volume runs at 900k shares a day on a market cap of $834M, with a beta of 0.74 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 14 of 20.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.

Upcoming events

No upcoming earnings date is recorded for MYN in the nightly calendar. The shares go ex-dividend on 13 Nov 2026 (0.0512 per share), so a covered call sold before then carries a small early-assignment risk around that date.
