Analysis
John Hancock Income Securities Closed Fund (JHS) currently trades at $10.86, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $10.58, implying the stock looks roughly 2.6% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. How firm this estimate is: it rests on 22 models at a data quality of 95/100, which puts the evidence level at high.
Over the trailing twelve months, John Hancock Income Securities Closed Fund generated revenue of $12.5M at a net margin of 88.4%. Revenue grew 2.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.8%. Net debt stands at $91.3M. Fundamentals as of Aug 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $7.94 (bear case) to $13.23 (bull case); at $10.86, the current price sits within 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 −3%, JHS screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 10 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.2811 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.
All 2 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($10.58) versus Asset-Based ($8.34). Highest evidence: P/B Multiple (55).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 58 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 55
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.
