American Riviera Bancorp (ARBV): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol ARBV · Financial Services · Banks - Regional · United States · Value
Is ARBV undervalued?
ARBV closed at 29.50 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 30.04 - 1.8% below fair value, which our scans read as "fairly priced". 5 of 8 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (3.47) and 10 Cap (47.92). 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.
Ranked against every other company we cover, ARBV is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 59, growth score 28, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for ARBV
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.

| Graham Number | 38.78 | +31% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 45.18 | +53% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 11.20 | -62% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 3.47 | -88% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 47.92 | +62% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 27.94 | -5% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |

Quality and financial health
American Riviera Bancorp scores only 4 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. On durability ARBV scores 6.2/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 8.1%, ROE 9.7%, ROA 0.9% - with debt at 0.21 times equity and negative free cash flow.
American Riviera Bancorp pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
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 | 8.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.2 / 10 | ROE | 9.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.21 | ROA | 0.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 19: No options
No options are listed on American Riviera Bancorp in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 19, 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 2k shares a day on a market cap of $170M, with a beta of 0.43 - 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 | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (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 $170M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |

| Moat | Good | moat 6.2/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 4/9 | |
