Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (SAMG): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is SAMG undervalued?

SAMG closed at 10.21 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 9.99 - 2.2% above fair value, which our screens read as "fairly priced". 3 of 9 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.

The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 0.1589 while DCF gives 29.00. 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 SAMG under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Nine valuation models for SAMG

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

On financial health SAMG scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.0 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.

Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 6.6%, ROE 9.7%, ROA 2.9% - with debt at 0.48 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 11.1%.

The dividend yield is high at 8.23% (payout ratio 730%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. 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. Revenue comes mainly from Investment Advisory, Management and Adm… 96%, Family Office Services 4% (quarter Q2 FY2026).

Institutional ownership scores 8/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 61: Fair

SAMG scores 61 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Fair band, 50-64): a usable but unremarkable fit for the wheel strategy. The parts: Value 12/25, Health 16/20, Moat 6/15, Premium 20/20, Stability 8/20. Moat (6/15) is where the points are missing.

Implied volatility is 50% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is thin - 1,213 contracts across every expiry - so fills at a fair price are not guaranteed; a 30-45-day put may not exist at a usable strike.

Volume runs at 199k shares a day on a market cap of $80M, with a beta of 0.66 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 8 of 20.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.
