UTG, Inc. (UTGN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Insurance - Life · United States · Value
Is UTGN undervalued?
UTGN has a margin of safety of 48%: the stock closed at 60.00 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 114.95. 4 of the 7 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 7 models disagree widely: 10 Cap gives 10.43 while DCF gives 257.55. 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.
The nightly engine files UTGN under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: UTGN passes 4 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is low at 3.8 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 moderate - ROIC 7.4%, ROE 7.4%, ROA 3.7% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
UTG, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 7.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.8 / 10 | ROE | 7.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 3.7% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -4.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
UTGN 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" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $188M, with a beta of 0.10 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 48% margin of safety | |
| Health | 9 / 20 | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 3.8/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $188M cap, beta 0.10 |
