The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 5, 2026 (estimated)

Arko Corp.'s trailing-twelve-month revenue fell 2.1% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 0.5%. Where it stands out: days sales outstanding of 4 days ranks 1 of 14 automotive retail companies we cover. Where it lags: operating margin of 1.2% ranks 17 of 21 automotive retail companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$13 per share in the base case (~$8.3–$18 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow fell 60.2% while net income fell 0.1%: a 60pp divergence.

Moat

34 /100

Weak moat

How hard Arko's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 6 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median 0.7% of total assets over 6 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 1.4%; its worst year was 1.2%.

  • Cash conversion 9 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 5 of 6 years, at a median 0.8% of revenue.

  • Discipline 13 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 12.4% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.1% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (39 before it).

A rules-based reading of reported figures, not a forecast and not investment advice. How the score is built: methodology.

A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
