Five Screens, Shown in Full

Does not pass. Cash ratio

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 0.71% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 0.7% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 50.02% Below 33% Interest-bearing cash and securities are 50.0% of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
Receivables 0.00% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
Revenue purity 0.00% Below 5% Only 0.0% 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.

What the Numbers Say It Is Worth

The Fair Value Range

Our framework reads AVOID: 60.90% revenue growth.

The Street's Range
2.00Street low 7.69Street average 12.00Street high 1.50Price

Third-party analyst targets: 8 covering, consensus Strong Buy. The average target sits +413% 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.

The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; it already moves more than the market on an average day; as a biotechnology name, trial and regulatory outcomes can move it sharply either way.
