Rydex Precious Metals Inv (RYPMX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · High Growth
Is RYPMX undervalued?
At 267.54 (close of 16 Oct 2026), RYPMX trades 97% below the GLS average fair value of 7,996.50. That average comes from 8 models run on the latest filings, and 7 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 Rydex Precious Metals Inv the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 8 models disagree widely: DDM gives 120.44 while GLS Growth gives 17,834.29. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files RYPMX under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: RYPMX passes 4 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is 5.7 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 12.1%, ROE 26.1%, ROA 10.1% - with debt at 1.16 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 3.06% at a payout ratio of 24%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 12.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.7 / 10 | ROE | 26.1% |
| Debt / equity | 1.16 | ROA | 10.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -19.2% | Payout ratio | 24% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
