Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. (OTF): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is OTF undervalued?

OTF has a margin of safety of 78%: the stock closed at 9.79 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 44.91. 4 of the 7 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.

There is a wide gap between Lynch (2.18) and DCF (221.69). 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, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for OTF, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 75, growth score 91, out of 100). It also carries the Income tag (Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).

Nine valuation models for OTF

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.

Quality and financial health

Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. scores only 4 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. On durability OTF scores 6.0/10 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 5.0%, ROE 9.0%, ROA 4.9% - with debt at 0.78 times equity and negative free cash flow.

The dividend yield is high at 16.34% (payout ratio 288%) - 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 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 32: No options

No options are listed on Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 32, 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.

Volume runs at 4.1M shares a day on a market cap of $4.5B, with a beta of -0.66 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that good.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
