Village Farms International, Inc. (VFF): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is VFF undervalued?

Village Farms International, Inc. (VFF) closed at 2.56 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 6 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 4.92, which puts the price 48% below it. 5 of the 6 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.

The 6 models disagree widely: EPV gives 2.17 while Graham Growth gives 9.16. 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 VFF under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Nine valuation models for VFF

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.

Quality and financial health

Financial health is average - VFF passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes 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 moderate - ROIC 9.7%, ROE 10.8%, ROA 7.7% - with debt at 0.11 times equity and negative free cash flow.

Village Farms International, 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 Other Operating 100% (quarter Q2 FY2026).

Institutional ownership scores 3/10, insider activity 4/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 72: Good

VFF scores 72 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 65-79). The score blends the margin of safety (Value, 25/25), Piotroski health (13/20), the GLS moat (3/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (11/20). Moat (3/15) is the part holding the score back.

Implied volatility is 62% 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 (20 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. The option chain is deep: 57,650 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.

Volume runs at 738k shares a day on a market cap of $313M, with a beta of 1.35 - 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 11 of 20.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.

Upcoming events

The next earnings report is due on 9 Nov 2026 (before the open), 24 days away; a 30-45-day put sold today would expire after it, which is worth weighing against the premium.
