What matters now

  • Solid quality (49/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Eaton Vance Senior Income Closed Fund (EVF) currently trades at $4.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $6.66, implying the stock looks roughly 25.8% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 49/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $6.66 per share, and 3 of the 6 models we run sit above the $4.94 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $4.00, and 3 of the 6 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Eaton Vance Senior Income Closed Fund generated revenue of $15.2M at a net margin of 61.3%. Revenue declined 7.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.4%. Net debt stands at $19.8M. Fundamentals as of Aug 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $5.00 (bear case) to $8.33 (bull case); at $4.94, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 6% below its 52-week high and 4% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −28% fair-value upside, at 35%, EVF screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 12 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.2000 per share. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
