How we got here: the combined value of 5 valuation models built for a business like Hennessy Advisors Inc (see the models table below and how they are combined) , with a 8.01% cost of equity. The models span ~$12–~$20; that spread sets a 15% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Valuation models

We value Hennessy Advisors Inc as an asset manager, broker or exchange, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.68 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Hennessy Advisors Inc with asset managers in our coverage, using third-party market data. Model values are estimates under stated assumptions, updated as new filings arrive; not price targets or investment advice. How each model works.

Moat

81 /100

Strong moat

How hard Hennessy Advisors's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 20 / 20

    Net income has been a median 7.1% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Durability 20 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 34.1%; its worst year was 27.3%.

  • Discipline 11 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 7.1% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 4.3% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (86 before it).

Consensus figures average analysts' published estimates (third-party data); guidance is the company's own. Neither is our forecast. Short interest is reported twice a month and lags. Market data may be delayed.

This section is general information, not investment advice or a personal recommendation, and it does not take account of your objectives or circumstances. Forecasts and guidance are estimates, not promises: companies miss their own guidance and analysts' figures are often revised. Prices can fall as well as rise, and you can lose money.
