Royce Global Trust, Inc. (RGT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management - Global · United States · High Growth
Is RGT undervalued?
At 14.08 (close of 16 Oct 2026), RGT trades 74% below the GLS average fair value of 54.32. 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.
The nightly engine files RGT under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

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 Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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. A GLS Moat score of 3.9/10 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 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 1.35% with a payout ratio of 3% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business.
Institutional ownership scores 4/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 18.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.9 / 10 | ROE | 18.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 18.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.3% | Payout ratio | 3% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
