Is RGT undervalued?

At 14.90 (close of 5 Nov 2026), RGT trades 73% below the GLS average fair value of 54.28. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 5 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns Royce Global Trust, Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.

There is a wide gap between 10 Cap (0.8058) and Graham Growth (180.38). 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 RGT, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 87, growth score 83, out of 100).

Nine valuation models for RGT

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

Royce Global Trust, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. On durability RGT scores 6.1/10 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 high - ROIC 18.9%, ROE 18.9%, ROA 18.8% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 0.3%.

The dividend yield is 1.28% with a payout ratio of 3% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business.

Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 33: No options

No options are listed on Royce Global Trust, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 33, 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 10k shares a day on a market cap of $98M, with a beta of 1.09; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
