AMG Yacktman Focused I (YAFIX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is YAFIX undervalued?

AMG Yacktman Focused I (YAFIX) closed at 24.55 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 29.22, so the price sits 16% below it. 4 of the 8 models value the shares above the current price. A margin of safety between 10% and 30% is where most of the Sunday Scan candidates come from.

There is a wide gap between EPV (8.88) and DDM (53.09). 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.

YAFIX looks like a fund, note or preferred share rather than an operating company, so the nightly engine files it under Fund / Note: the valuation models are not built for it, and its Wheel Score is capped at 45.

Quality and financial health

AMG Yacktman Focused I 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. There is no GLS Moat score for YAFIX: funds, notes and second share lines get none, and so does a company with fewer than two years of accounts on file. The Moat part of the Wheel Score is zero.

Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 7.9%, ROE 18.0%, ROA 5.2% - with debt at 1.27 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 1.7%.

The dividend yield is high at 14.70% (payout ratio 28%). 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.

Wheel Score 20: No options
