Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (AUBN): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is AUBN undervalued?

At 25.90 (close of 5 Nov 2026), AUBN trades 25% under the GLS average fair value of 34.54. 6 of the 9 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS scan; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.

The 9 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 3.12 while 10 Cap gives 74.89. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.

Ranked against every other company we cover, AUBN is clearly cheaper than it is fast-growing, so the nightly engine files it under Value (value score 68, growth score 4, out of 100). It also carries the Income tag (Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).

Nine valuation models for AUBN

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

Financial health is average - AUBN passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 4.4 out of 10: returns on capital, margins or the balance sheet have not shown a lasting edge yet - often a young company, a thin-margin business or one that has only recently turned profitable.

Returns on capital are moderate - ROIC 7.9%, ROE 7.9%, ROA 0.7% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 11.5%.

The dividend yield is high at 4.17% (payout ratio 43%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual.

Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 30 Sep 2026.

Wheel Score 30: No options

AUBN has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business. It fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade), so the score stays under 70 and is shown as "No options" (30 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.

Volume runs at 1k shares a day on a market cap of $90M, with a beta of 0.47 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

The Wheel Score ranks ~7,400 US stocks for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls: a stock must pass all 9 Wheel Trade Filters to score 70, and the score then ranks the ones that pass; the Sunday Scan is the top 10. It is updated nightly and is not a recommendation. How the Wheel Score works · the walkthrough lesson shows how it fits into a trade, start to finish.
