American Bank Incorporated (AMBK): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Defensive
Is AMBK undervalued?
At 24.23 (close of 16 Oct 2026), AMBK trades within a few percent of the GLS average fair value of 26.35 (8.0% 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 (6.69) and Graham Growth (59.01). 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 Defensive: a low beta, a dividend and positive earnings.
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 | 29.17 | +20% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 29.93 | +24% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 59.01 | +144% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 20.56 | -15% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 6.69 | -72% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 34.25 | +41% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 21.83 | -10% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 10.59 | -56% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 25.13 | +4% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -152.12 | -728% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
American Bank Incorporated scores only 4 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. 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 4.8/10 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 8.0%, ROE 12.7%, ROA 1.3% - with debt at 0.58 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 2.97% 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 | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 8.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.8 / 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 38: No options
No options are listed on American Bank Incorporated in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 38) 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 $154M, 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 gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 16 / 25 | 8% margin of safety | |
| Health | 9 / 20 | Piotroski 4/9 | |
| Moat | 7 / 15 | moat 4.8/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 0k shares/day, $154M cap, beta -0.04 |
