Five Screens, Shown in Full

Does not pass. Business activity screen

TestFigureLimitWhat it meansStatus
Business activity Excluded Core business clean Business activity: Aerospace & Defense Fail

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 Falls Short, in Plain English

Lockheed Martin does not clear the screen at the business-activity stage. It operates in aerospace and defense, so the financial ratios are not the deciding factor here.

Read as at 2026-11-05. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.

The Conscience Overlay What do these labels mean?
Conscience flag · BDS Movement, AFSC Divest List

The quantitative screen above is arithmetic. Separately, community boycott lists cite this company: Cited by BDS movement and AFSC for supplying F-35 fighter jets and other military platforms to the Israeli Air Force. The desk records that flag here without folding it into the verdict: the screen measures the balance sheet, the overlay informs the conscience, and they are different judgements that belong to different owners. The second one is yours.

What the Numbers Say It Is Worth

The Fair Value Range

Our analysis reads Fair vs our fair value, as of 4 Nov 2026: it trades at roughly a 3% discount to our $657.76 fair value, narrow competitive moat, 11.30% revenue growth.

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

Third-party analyst targets: 21 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +9% from the screen price.

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

Price History & Projections

Where our models see it going: fair-value estimate $657.76, with a range of $499.13 to $831.89, dated to the 2026-11-04 screen.

The Business, in Plain Words

Why it is worth knowing

A quality business: a narrow moat. It trades close to our $657.76 fair value, so the easy discount is gone; you would be paying up for the quality.
