Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (APT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Industrial - Specialties · Canada · Value
Is APT undervalued?
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (APT) closed at 5.72 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 8 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 6.53, so the price sits 12% below it. 4 of the 8 models value the shares above the current price. A margin of safety between 10% and 30% is where most of the Sunday Scan candidates come from.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (1.22) and 10 Cap (14.59). 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 APT under Value: positive earnings at a P/E of 18 or less.

Quality and financial health
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. scores 8 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 3.7/10 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 5.0%, ROE 5.7%, ROA 4.8% - with debt at 0.13 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 10.0%.
Alpha Pro Tech, 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 Building Supply 63%, Disposable Protective Apparel 37% (quarter Q3 FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 4/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 28 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 5.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.7 / 10 | ROE | 5.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.13 | ROA | 4.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 10.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 66: Good
With a Wheel Score of 66 - the Good band - Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. falls just short of the Sunday Scan's "70 or higher" rule. The parts: Value 18/25, Health 18/20, Moat 6/15, Premium 19/20, Stability 6/20; Stability (6/20) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 63% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - above the 60% ceiling of the sweet spot. Premiums are large, but the Wheel Score tapers the Premium points (19 of 20) because volatility this high usually comes with a reason. Chain open interest is 16,618 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 55k shares a day on a market cap of $58M, with a beta of 0.86; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 18 / 25 | 12% margin of safety | |
| Health | 18 / 20 | Piotroski 8/9 | |
| Moat | 6 / 15 | moat 3.7/10 | |
| Premium | 19 / 20 | implied volatility 63% | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 55k shares/day, $58M cap, beta 0.86 |
