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.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-09-04 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 6.8% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 5 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +31% from the screen price.

The Business, in Plain Words
Defence Parts Maker Hits Our Ethical Wall
Astronics builds the electronics and lighting that keep military jets and commercial planes in the air. Every contract it wins in aerospace and defence therefore lands it straight on the prohibited list. We pass without hesitation. The ethical screen exists for exactly these cases and we apply it cleanly.
Revenue is rising 12 percent and return on equity sits at 21 percent, yet the business still only clears a 5 percent profit margin while trading at 25.5 times forward earnings. A one percent margin of safety over our fair value adds no comfort when the core activity itself is off limits. Consensus targets sit higher, but that changes nothing for us.
Currency swings, defence budget cycles and thin margins already make the shares volatile. The ethical failure simply removes any reason to look further. Analysis, not advice.
The risks · The things to watch: it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
