AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I look at Alpha Pro Tech as a small industrial maker of disposable protective apparel and building weatherization products. It is not a wide-moat business; with 122 employees and two segments, it likely has limited pricing power. Still, the balance sheet is a Graham-style comfort: debt-to-equity of 0.12, Altman Z-Score 5.48, and Piotroski F-Score 7/9. At the close on 2026-10-13, the stock was $5.76, or 0.90x book and 14.77x earnings. FairStock's Graham Number is $7.50, leaving 23.20% margin of safety, and trailing free cash flow was $5.8M, a 9.9% FCF yield. Those are asset-play numbers, matching the Lynch category given. But quality is mediocre: ROE 6.61% and ROCE 3.67% are not the returns of a wonderful business. Growth is mixed. FairStock shows revenue growth of 5.52% and profit growth of 14.52%, and in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $18.7M, net income $1.8M, and diluted EPS $0.18, better than fiscal Q2 2025's $16.7M revenue, $1.2M net income, and $0.12 EPS. Yet full-year fiscal 2025 revenue was $59.1M and net income $3.5M, below fiscal 2023's $4.2M net income. So this is a cheap-ish asset with modest profitability, not a compounder. The price offers some protection, but the discount is justified unless returns on capital improve. I would watch whether recent profit improvement persists and whether book value is converted into higher earnings.

In plain English: Alpha Pro Tech makes disposable protective clothing and building supply products such as housewrap. The business has a strong balance sheet but earns modest returns, and its profits have moved up and down in recent years. At $5.76 on 2026-10-13, the stock looks somewhat cheap compared with its accounting value and profits, though the low returns make that cheapness less compelling.
