American Bank Incorporated (AMBK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol AMBK · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Speculative
Is AMBK undervalued?
At 25.51 (close of 5 Nov 2026), AMBK trades within a few percent of the GLS average fair value of 27.66 (7.8% below fair value). 9 models produced a value and they split 5 above the price to 4 below. A stock priced at fair value earns about half of the Wheel Score's Value points; the rest of the score comes from health, moat, premium and stability.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (7.08) and Graham Growth (63.27). 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 AMBK under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for AMBK
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 30.94 | +21% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 31.14 | +22% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 63.27 | +148% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 22.05 | -14% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 7.08 | -72% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 35.15 | +38% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 21.79 | -15% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 10.59 | -58% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 26.95 | +6% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -152.12 | -696% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
American Bank Incorporated scores only 3 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 7.9/10 puts AMBK among the more durable businesses we track: over up to ten years its returns on capital have stayed high, its margins steady and its balance sheet sound.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 8.0%, ROE 12.7%, ROA 1.3% - with debt at 0.58 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 2.82% at a payout ratio of 0%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 3 / 9 | ROIC | 8.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.9 / 10 | ROE | 12.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.58 | ROA | 1.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 22: No options
No options are listed on American Bank Incorporated in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 22, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; 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 $162M, with a beta of -0.04 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Fails | speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score) |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 3/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $162M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 8% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Good | moat 7.9/10 | |
| Health | Weak | Piotroski 3/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | not scored yet - half marks | |
| Option trading | Weak | no option volume data | |
| Stability | Fair | beta -0.04, $162M company |
