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 2026-09-21 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 1.3% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 9 covering, consensus None. The average target sits +23% 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 it has been, where the models see it going. History from market close data; projection points are our fair-value estimates and third-party analyst targets, dated to the 2026-09-21 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
Idaho Power Trades Well Above Its Fair Value
Picture a homeowner in Boise switching on the lights without a second thought. IDACORP delivers that reliability through hydropower and gas plants, yet the shares sit at $148.73 against our fair value of $130.36. Revenue fell 7 percent while the forward P/E of 21.4 times offers little cushion and ROE sits at just 9 percent.
We therefore pass. The business clears our ethical screen and carries a 19 percent profit margin, yet the valuation leaves no margin of safety and the opportunity rating is none. Analyst targets at $156 ignore that gap.
Risk centres on rising interest rates that compress utility multiples and any shift in regulated returns. A low ROE already signals limited pricing power once costs climb. Analysis, not advice.
The risks · The main risks here are ordinary market swings and the chance our fair-value read proves too optimistic.
