Yext, Inc. (YEXT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol YEXT · Technology · Software - Infrastructure · United States · Growth
Is YEXT undervalued?
At 7.83 (close of 5 Nov 2026), YEXT trades within a few percent of the GLS average fair value of 7.81 (exactly at fair value). 7 models produced a value and they split 3 above the price to 4 below. A stock priced at fair value earns about half of the Wheel Score's Value points; the rest of the score comes from health, moat, premium and stability.
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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, YEXT is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 19, growth score 57, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for YEXT
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 | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 1.45 | -82% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 4.21 | -46% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 1.04 | -87% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 13.94 | +78% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 11.11 | +42% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 20.02 | +156% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 2.90 | -63% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -1.46 | -119% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 8.20 | +5% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
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 low at 4.3 out of 10: returns on capital, margins or the balance sheet have not shown a lasting edge yet - often a young company, a thin-margin business or one that has only recently turned profitable.
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 6.8%.
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 | 4.3 / 10 | ROE | 23.8% |
| Debt / equity | 1.12 | ROA | 6.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 6.8% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 9 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 31: Weak
YEXT scores 31 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Weak band (under 50): it fails filter 3, below fair value - trades right at our fair value; and filter 8, big enough - market cap $775M (under $1.0B), and the parts are thin too - value weak, premium strong, moat fair, health good, red flags fair, option trading weak, stability fair. The score is not a judgement on the company; it says the price, quality and premium do not line up for selling puts on it today.
Implied volatility is 67% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% top of the sweet spot. It still passes the 25-80% filter, but the Wheel Score rewards it less because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 6,498 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 1.1M shares a day on a market cap of $775M, with a beta of 1.13; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| 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 | Fails | trades right at our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 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 | Fails | market cap $775M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 0% above fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 67% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.3/10 | |
| Health | Good | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | Red Flags score 70/100 | |
| Option trading | Weak | 185 contracts a day, 6,498 open interest | |
| Stability | Fair | beta 1.13, $775M company |
