Yext, Inc. (YEXT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Technology · Software - Infrastructure · United States · Blend
Is YEXT undervalued?
At 6.97 (close of 16 Oct 2026), YEXT trades 11% under the GLS average fair value of 7.81. 3 of the 7 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS screen; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
The 7 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 1.04 while Payback Time gives 20.02. 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.

Quality and financial health
On financial health YEXT 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 6.2 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 11.2%, ROE 23.8%, ROA 6.1% - with debt at 1.12 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 7.7%.
Yext, 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 Reportable 100% (quarter Q2 FY2027).
Institutional ownership scores 9/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 20 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 11.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.2 / 10 | ROE | 23.8% |
| Debt / equity | 1.12 | ROA | 6.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 7.7% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 9 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 73: Good
YEXT scores 73 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 65-79). The score blends the margin of safety (Value, 17/25), Piotroski health (16/20), the GLS moat (9/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (12/20). Moat (9/15) 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. Chain open interest is 8,533 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 573k shares a day on a market cap of $690M, with a beta of 1.14; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 17 / 25 | 11% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 9 / 15 | moat 6.2/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 62% | |
| Stability | 12 / 20 | 573k shares/day, $690M cap, beta 1.14 |
