Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (SAMG): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol SAMG · Financial Services · Asset Management · United States · Value Quality Income
Is SAMG undervalued?
SAMG closed at 10.95 on 5 Nov 2026, which is 10% above the GLS average fair value of 9.92 from 9 models. 6 of them value the shares below today's price. Our scans read that as "no margin of safety": the stock is not a value candidate at this price, whatever the quality numbers say.
The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 0.1516 while DCF gives 30.30. 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, SAMG is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 41, growth score 16, out of 100). It also carries the Quality and Income tags (Quality = moat 7.5+ out of 10 and Piotroski 7+; Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 30.30 | +177% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 3.96 | -64% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 6.84 | -38% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 2.99 | -73% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 0.1516 | -99% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 26.09 | +138% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 5.26 | -52% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 12.36 | +13% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 1.33 | -88% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -3.27 | -130% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health SAMG scores 8/9 (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 8.2 out of 10 - high returns on capital, steady margins and growth that held up through bad years point to a durable business.
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 10.1%.
The dividend yield is high at 7.67% (payout ratio 696%) - 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… 97%, Family Office Services 4% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 8/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 29 Oct 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 6.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 8.2 / 10 | ROE | 9.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.48 | ROA | 2.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 10.1% | Payout ratio | 696% |
| Institutions | 8 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 27: Weak
SAMG scores 27 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (165 open interest, 7 a day); and filter 3, below fair value - trades 10% above our fair value; and filter 7, a premium worth selling - implied volatility 111% (over 80%); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $86M (under $1.0B), and the parts are thin too - value weak, premium weak, moat strong, health strong, red flags fair, option trading weak, stability fair. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 111%, above the 80% ceiling of the Wheel Trade Filter on premium. The premium looks generous, but moves of that size can blow through any strike. Chain open interest is thin - 165 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 65k shares a day on a market cap of $86M, 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 rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | options too quiet (165 open interest, 7 a day) |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Fails | trades 10% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 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 | implied volatility 111% (over 80%) |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $86M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 10% above fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | implied volatility 111% | |
| Moat | Strong | moat 8.2/10 | |
| Health | Strong | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | Red Flags score 75/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 7 contracts a day, 165 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 0.66, $86M company |
