Five Screens, Shown in Full
This security has not been fully scored against the values screen yet.
| Test | Figure | Limit | What it means | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | 7.43% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 7.4% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 0.00% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.0% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 35.85% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 35.9% of assets, under the 49% limit. | 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 ReadThe Read, in Plain English
Ivanhoe Electric clears the business-activity screen and the figures we can measure look clean, but one or more financial figures are still pending, so the verdict is not final yet.
Read as at 2026-11-04. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.
2026-09-24
Clears
Ivanhoe Electric clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 7%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.
Earlier reads, kept as written. The ethical profile is tracked over time, not overwritten.
What the Numbers Say It Is WorthThe Fair Value Range

The Business, in Plain WordsCopper Explorer Faces Classic Cyclical Trap
Picture a crew sinking shafts for copper while prices swing like a pendulum each year. Ivanhoe Electric grows revenue 17 percent yet runs at zero profit margin and negative 2 percent return on equity, so the forward multiple of negative 16 times tells us nothing useful about value.
Analyst targets sit near 20 dollars against an 8 dollar price and our fair value estimate reaches almost 11 dollars, yet the opportunity rating remains none. This is early stage exploration in a cyclical sector where low multiples usually flag peak earnings rather than a bargain.
The ethical screen passes but commodity swings can drain cash for years with no moat in sight. Peak cycle earnings often lure investors into value traps that stay cheap for good reason.
