Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (TCI): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Real Estate · Real Estate - Services · United States · Blend
Is TCI undervalued?
At 48.91 (close of 16 Oct 2026), TCI trades 90% over the GLS average fair value of 25.76, with 1 of 6 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.
The 6 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 2.73 while DCF gives 77.36. 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.

Nine valuation models for TCI
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.

|---|---|---|---|

| Graham Number | 45.33 | -7% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 15.05 | -69% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 3.73 | -92% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 2.73 | -94% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - TCI passes 5 of the nine Piotroski tests, which falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.1 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 thin or negative - ROIC 1.3%, ROE 1.6%, ROA 1.2% - with debt at 0.25 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Multifamily 70%, Commercial Segments 30% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 1.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.1 / 10 | ROE | 1.6% |
| Debt / equity | 0.25 | ROA | 1.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -5.6% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 21: No options
TCI has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (21 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 9k shares a day on a market cap of $429M, with a beta of 0.49 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 7 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -90% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.1/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 7 / 20 | 9k shares/day, $429M cap, beta 0.49 |
