Autoscope Technologies Corporation (AATC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is AATC undervalued?

Autoscope Technologies Corporation (AATC) closed at 5.66 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 8.42, which puts the price 33% below it. 4 of the 9 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 Lynch (1.13) and Payback Time (23.10). 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 AATC under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

Quality and financial health

Autoscope Technologies Corporation scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 2.8/10 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 moderate - ROIC 11.8%, ROE 13.6%, ROA 11.6% - with debt at 0.15 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 10.8%.

The dividend yield is high at 10.60% (payout ratio 232%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Royalty 83%, Product 17% (quarter Q3 FY2022).

Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 39: No options

No options are listed on Autoscope Technologies Corporation in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.

Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $31M, with a beta of 0.26 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls; it is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. The walkthrough lesson shows how the score fits into a trade, start to finish.
