Is TISVX undervalued?
Transamerica International Sm Cp Val I (TISVX) closed at 18.97 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 3 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 49.95, which puts the price 62% below it. 2 of the 3 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
Only 3 of the nine models produced a value (DCF, 10 Cap, DDM); the others need a dividend, positive free cash flow or positive book value the company does not have yet, so the average rests on a narrow base.
The nightly engine files TISVX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - TISVX 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 5.3 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 1.8%, ROE 4.5%, ROA 1.5% - with debt at 1.54 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 19.7%.
The dividend yield is high at 4.14% (payout ratio 9%). 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 | 1.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.3 / 10 | ROE | 4.5% |
| Debt / equity | 1.54 | ROA | 1.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 19.7% | Payout ratio | 9% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
