Invesco Senior Income Trust (VVR): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Asset Management - Income · United States · High Yield Income
Is VVR undervalued?
VVR has a margin of safety of 30%: the stock closed at 2.85 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 4.10. 5 of the 9 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 9 models disagree widely: DCF gives 0.7229 while Payback Time gives 8.78. 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 VVR under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 0.7229 | -75% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 2.64 | -8% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 5.07 | +78% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 2.22 | -22% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 5.43 | +91% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 5.10 | +79% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 8.78 | +208% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 5.92 | +108% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 0.9857 | -65% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -1.89 | -166% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
On financial health VVR scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.2 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 1.6%, ROE 2.5%, ROA 1.5% - with debt at 0.59 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.0%.
The dividend yield is high at 14.11% (payout ratio 367%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. 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 | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 1.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.2 / 10 | ROE | 2.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.59 | ROA | 1.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.0% | Payout ratio | 367% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
VVR 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 876k shares a day on a market cap of $439M, with a beta of 0.20 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 30% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.2/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 12 / 20 | 876k shares/day, $439M cap, beta 0.20 |
