Is YAFIX undervalued?
AMG Yacktman Focused I (YAFIX) closed at 23.81 on 16 Oct 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 19% 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.
The nightly engine files YAFIX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

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 Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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 YAFIX scores 5.5/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
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 1.8%.
The dividend yield is high at 15.15% (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.
