- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $13.33 – $32.10 · fair‑value band $22.01 – $36.69 · the $32.05 price screens above the $29.35 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.
Analysis
Ames National Corporation (ATLO) currently trades at $32.05, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $29.35, implying the stock looks roughly 9.2% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $27.93 per share, and 1 of the 6 models we run sit above the $32.05 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $7.92, and 5 of the 6 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is 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 Sep 3, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $22.01 (bear case) to $36.69 (bull case); at $32.05, 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 near its 52-week high and 95% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −10% fair-value upside, at −8%, ATLO screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $1.20 per share, which is 4.1 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($27.93) versus Dividend Discount ($7.92). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 53 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 87
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
