Ambow Education Holding Ltd. (AMBO): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Defensive · Education & Training Services · United States · ADR · Speculative / Distressed
Is AMBO undervalued?
At 1.68 (close of 16 Oct 2026), AMBO has no GLS fair value: every one of the nine models needs a positive input (the company lost money over the last twelve months, EPS -1.73, it pays no dividend and its debts exceed what its assets would fetch), so the margin of safety is blank and the Wheel Score cannot be computed. Our screens leave the stock out at the first rule. What can be said from the nightly row is below.
The nightly engine files AMBO 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.
Nine valuation models for AMBO
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.

Quality and financial health
Ambow Education Holding Ltd. scores only 3 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 2.1/10 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 7.6%, ROE 16.5%, ROA 6.5% - with debt at 1.18 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Ambow Education Holding Ltd. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Intelligent program and services 100% (quarter Q2 FY2022).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 3 / 9 | ROIC | 7.6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.1 / 10 | ROE | 16.5% |
| Debt / equity | 1.18 | ROA | 6.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -651.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 28: No options
No options are listed on Ambow Education Holding Ltd. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 28) 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 2k shares a day on a market cap of $240K, with a beta of 0.83; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 13 / 25 | 0% margin of safety | |
| Health | 7 / 20 | Piotroski 3/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.1/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 2k shares/day, $0M cap, beta 0.83 |
