VICI Properties Inc. (VICI): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol VICI · Real Estate · REIT - Diversified · United States · Value Income
Is VICI undervalued?
VICI has a margin of safety of 48%: the stock closed at 25.25 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 48.57. 7 of the 9 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans 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 Lynch (18.40) and DCF (132.47). 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, VICI is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 71, growth score 43, out of 100). It also carries the Income tag (Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).
Nine valuation models for VICI
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 132.47 | +425% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 35.56 | +41% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 53.69 | +113% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 18.40 | -27% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 32.90 | +30% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 49.15 | +95% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 64.62 | +156% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 26.63 | +5% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 23.69 | -6% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | 0.7614 | -97% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 28.90 | +14% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
VICI Properties Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. 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 VICI scores 6.2/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 6.1%, ROE 10.0%, ROA 5.9% - with debt at 0.64 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.7%.
The dividend yield is high at 7.17% (payout ratio 83%). 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 Real Property Business 100% (quarter Q3 FY2022).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 10/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded Congressional buy was on 25 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 6.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.2 / 10 | ROE | 10.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.64 | ROA | 5.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.7% | Payout ratio | 83% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 10 / 10 |
Wheel Score 48: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 48 VICI Properties Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 5/9 (under 6); and filter 5, can repay its debt - 6.7 years to repay its debt (over 6); Red Flags (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 30% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: enough to pass the 25-80% Wheel Trade Filter, but under the 35-60% sweet spot the score rewards most. The option chain is deep: 62,049 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 16.2M shares a day on a market cap of $27.8B, with a beta of 0.66 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that strong.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded a day |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 5/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Fails | 6.7 years to repay its debt (over 6) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 48% below fair value | |
| Premium | Good | implied volatility 30% | |
| Moat | Good | moat 6.2/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Red Flags | Weak | Red Flags score 65/100 | |
| Option trading | Good | 3,737 contracts a day, 62,049 open interest | |
| Stability | Strong | beta 0.66, $27.8B company |
