Five Screens, Shown in Full

Full pass across all five screens. This security clears the Titan Ethical Standard: its business and its balance sheet both stay inside the lines.

TestFigureLimitWhat it meansStatus
Business activity Permissible Core business clean Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines: no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
Debt load 18.73% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 18.7% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 0.00% Below 33% Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.0% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
Receivables 9.03% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 9.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
Revenue purity 0.17% Below 5% Only 0.2% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, under the 5% line. Pass

Five checks adapted from AAOIFI screening standards: business activity plus four balance-sheet ratios. All five must pass for ethical clearance. Every figure is arithmetic on public accounts, not judgement.

The Ethical Read

Why It Clears, in Plain English

Baltic Classifieds clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 19%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.

What the Numbers Say It Is Worth

The Fair Value Range

Our model only; the analyst targets sit too far from the price to cross-check it.

Our analysis reads Overvalued vs our fair value, as of 5 Nov 2026: it trades above our 2.17 GBp fair value estimate, 7.20% revenue growth.

How a fair value is estimated: discounted cash flow (DCF).

1.98Conservative2.17Base case3.30Growth case 2.48Price

Fair value range in GBp, drawn from the 2026-11-05 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. The price runs 14.2% above the base estimate.

Third-party analyst targets. The average target sits +10,146% from the screen price.

Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.

Projections

Where our models see it going: fair-value estimate 2.17 GBp, with a range of 1.98 GBp to 3.30 GBp, dated to the 2026-11-05 screen.

Fair value and rating are our own model estimates; the Street's range reflects third-party analyst estimates. Analysis, not advice.

The Business, in Plain Words

Why it gives us pause

At 18.9x forward earnings, the price already runs ahead of the business. It trades 14% above our 2.17 GBp fair value, so you would be buying at a premium, not a discount.

The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; its business and earnings are exposed to Lithuania and to currency swings; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
