T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund (RPTIX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol RPTIX · Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Fund / Note
Is RPTIX undervalued?
At 102.59 (close of 5 Nov 2026), RPTIX trades 10% under the GLS average fair value of 114.17. 1 of the 3 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS scan; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
The average is built from just 3 models (DCF, 10 Cap, DDM) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
RPTIX looks like a fund, note or preferred share rather than an operating company, so the nightly engine files it under Fund / Note: the valuation models are not built for it, and its Wheel Score is capped at 45.
Nine valuation models for RPTIX
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.

| 10 Cap | 96.21 | -6% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | 92.57 | -10% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |

Quality and financial health
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter with room to spare. There is no GLS Moat score for RPTIX: funds, notes and second share lines get none, and so does a company with fewer than two years of accounts on file. The Moat part of the Wheel Score is zero.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 17.7%, ROE 18.4%, ROA 14.2% - with debt at 0.04 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 4.3%.
The dividend yield is high at 6.13% (payout ratio 64%). 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 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 17.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | - / 10 | ROE | 18.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.04 | ROA | 14.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 4.3% | Payout ratio | 64% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 22: No options
No options are listed on T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 22, 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 - a day on a market cap of $21.4B, with a beta of 0.95; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that strong.

| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
