Pimco Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund (PDO): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is PDO undervalued?
PDO closed at 11.72 on 16 Oct 2026, 13% below the GLS average fair value of 13.40 from 8 models (3 of them above the price). That is a moderate margin of safety: the stock passes the "below fair value" rule of the Sunday Scan, and the Wheel Score gives it 18 of the 25 Value points.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (0.8285) and 10 Cap (52.10). 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.
The nightly engine files PDO 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 PDO
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 | 9.29 | -21% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 4.57 | -61% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 1.13 | -90% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.8285 | -93% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 52.10 | +345% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 13.56 | +16% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 22.58 | +93% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 3.14 | -73% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -7.77 | -166% | 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
Pimco Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund scores only 0 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. A GLS Moat score of 3.6/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 1.2%, ROE 2.1%, ROA 1.2% - with debt at 0.70 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 16.8%.
The dividend yield is high at 13.10% (payout ratio 498%) - 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 3/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 0 / 9 | ROIC | 1.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.6 / 10 | ROE | 2.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.70 | ROA | 1.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 16.8% | Payout ratio | 498% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 38: No options
No options are listed on Pimco Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 38) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 1.1M shares a day on a market cap of $1.7B, with a beta of 0.79 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 15 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 18 / 25 | 13% margin of safety | |
| Health | 0 / 20 | Piotroski 0/9 | |
| Moat | 5 / 15 | moat 3.6/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 15 / 20 | 1.1M shares/day, $1.7B cap, beta 0.79 |
