Analysis
Ames National Corporation (ATLO) currently trades at $31.25, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $27.93, implying the stock looks roughly 10.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Ames National Corporation generated revenue of $69.1M at a net margin of 31.2%. Revenue grew 28.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.0%. Net debt stands at $39.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 25, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $20.94 (bear case) to $34.91 (bull case); at $31.25, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 3% below its 52-week high and 90% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at -11%, ATLO screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($27.93) versus Dividend Discount ($7.92). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
