TaskUs, Inc. (TASK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Technology · Information Technology Services · United States · High Growth
Is TASK undervalued?
TASK has a margin of safety of 77%: the stock closed at 8.14 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 35.54. 9 of the 9 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.
There is a wide gap between DCF (8.65) and GLS Growth (71.75). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.
The nightly engine files TASK under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 8.65 | +6% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 9.29 | +14% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 51.75 | +536% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 21.48 | +164% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 71.75 | +781% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 38.13 | +368% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 52.12 | +540% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
TaskUs, Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes 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. On durability TASK scores 6.9/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 11.4%, ROE 17.0%, ROA 9.7% - with debt at 0.50 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 16.2%.
The dividend yield is high at 44.84% (payout ratio 620%) - 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 Digital Customer Experience 73%, AI Services 27% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 4/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 11.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.9 / 10 | ROE | 17.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.50 | ROA | 9.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 16.2% | Payout ratio | 620% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 73: Good
With a Wheel Score of 73 - the Good band - TaskUs, Inc. clears the Sunday Scan's "70 or higher" rule. The parts: Value 25/25, Health 13/20, Moat 10/15, Premium 18/20, Stability 6/20; Stability (6/20) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 69% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (18 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 4,484 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 174k shares a day on a market cap of $746M, with a beta of 2.01 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 77% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 10 / 15 | moat 6.9/10 | |
| Premium | 18 / 20 | implied volatility 69% | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 174k shares/day, $746M cap, beta 2.01 |
