Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (QQQX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is QQQX undervalued?
Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (QQQX) closed at 30.66 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 7 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 152.82, which puts the price 80% below it. 6 of the 7 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
There is a wide gap between DCF (4.68) and GLS Growth (380.09). 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 QQQX 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.

| Lynch | 155.21 | +406% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 380.09 | +1140% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |

Quality and financial health
Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite 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 1.4/10 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 high - ROIC 12.1%, ROE 12.1%, ROA 11.9% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 8.65% (payout ratio 0%). 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 | 12.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.4 / 10 | ROE | 12.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 11.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 3 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
