Youlife Group Inc. (YOUL): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Education & Training Services · China · Speculative / Distressed
Is YOUL undervalued?
Youlife Group Inc. (YOUL) closed at 0.2997 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 6.09, which puts the price 95% below it. 8 of the 8 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
There is a wide gap between EPV (0.9814) and DCF (13.43). 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 YOUL under Speculative / Distressed - negative earnings or a Piotroski score of 3 or less - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.

| Lynch | 2.21 | +637% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 5.41 | +1704% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 3.61 | +1103% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 6.50 | +2069% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
Youlife Group Inc. scores only 0 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 4.0/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 4.8%, ROE 5.9%, ROA 3.5% - with debt at 0.22 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 7.4%.
Youlife Group 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 Management Service 96%, Market Services 4% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 0 / 9 | ROIC | 4.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.0 / 10 | ROE | 5.9% |
| Debt / equity | 0.22 | ROA | 3.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 7.4% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
