The Adirondack Trust Company (ADKT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Speculative / Distressed
Is ADKT undervalued?
ADKT has a margin of safety of 85%: the stock closed at 650.25 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 4,296.67. 6 of the 7 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our screens treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
The 7 models disagree widely: DDM gives 439.66 while DCF gives 18,826.86. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files ADKT 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 | 793.77 | +22% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1,287.17 | +98% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Financial health is weak: ADKT passes 0 of the nine Piotroski tests. Our screens drop the stock at the health rule; a low score is often the reason a stock looks cheap on the valuation models. The GLS Moat score is 5.6 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 8.0%, ROE 8.0%, ROA 0.9% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 4.60% (payout ratio 0%). 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.
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 | 8.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.6 / 10 | ROE | 8.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 0.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
ADKT has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at - a day on a market cap of $52M, with a beta of -0.27 - 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.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 85% margin of safety | |
| Health | 0 / 20 | Piotroski 0/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.6/10 | |
