American Realty Investors, Inc. (ARL): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Real Estate · Real Estate - Services · United States · Blend
Is ARL undervalued?
At 16.77 (close of 16 Oct 2026), ARL trades 20% over the GLS average fair value of 13.94. 2 of the 6 models land above the price and 4 below. A negative margin of safety costs Value points in the Wheel Score (4 of 25 here) - the models see no discount, which does not make the business a poor one, only the price a full one.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (1.51) and DCF (44.87). 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.

Quality and financial health
American Realty Investors, Inc. scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 1.8/10 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 thin or negative - ROIC 1.9%, ROE 2.5%, ROA 1.4% - with debt at 0.35 times equity and negative free cash flow.
American Realty Investors, Inc. 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 Multifamily 70%, Commercial Segments 30% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 1.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.8 / 10 | ROE | 2.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.35 | ROA | 1.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -3.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |

Wheel Score 24: No options
No options are listed on American Realty Investors, Inc. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 24) 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 1k shares a day on a market cap of $271M, with a beta of 0.65 - 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 | 4 / 25 | -20% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 1.8/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 1k shares/day, $271M cap, beta 0.65 |
