Virtus SGA Global Growth I Class (SGAPX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management - Global · United States · High Yield Income
Is SGAPX undervalued?
SGAPX has a margin of safety of 41%: the stock closed at 20.39 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 34.78. 3 of the 3 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our screens treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
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.
The nightly engine files SGAPX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
Virtus SGA Global Growth I Class 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 3.6/10 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 moderate - ROIC 5.3%, ROE 5.5%, ROA 4.0% - with debt at 0.04 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 7.6%.
The dividend yield is high at 13.95% (payout ratio 213%) - 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.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 5.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.6 / 10 | ROE | 5.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.04 | ROA | 4.0% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 7.6% | Payout ratio | 213% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
