The Workings

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 0.03% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 0.0% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 27.12% Below 33% Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 27.1% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
Receivables 0.00% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
Revenue purity 1.71% Below 5% Only 1.7% 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

StealthGas clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its debt is near-nil, and interest is about 2% of its income, under the ~5% line, so it passes.

What the Numbers Say It Is Worth

Price History & Projections

Where our models see it going: fair-value estimate $13.79, with a range of $12.60 to $15.74, dated to the 2026-11-05 screen.

The Business, in Plain Words

Why it stands out

Trading at 5.4x forward earnings, with a weak competitive moat and minimal debt. That is a 43% discount to our $13.79 fair value: the market is pricing it cautiously while the fundamentals argue otherwise.
