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 WorthThe Fair Value Range
Our framework reads AVOID: it trades at roughly a 21% discount to our $309.47 fair value, 190.00% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-09-08 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 21.0% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 13 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +37% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Both our model and the analysts see meaningful upside from here.

The Business, in Plain WordsDefence contracts keep flowing but ethics block the door
Every time a satellite locks onto a target or a comms link holds in a conflict zone, L3Harris sits behind the hardware. The business delivers steady mission systems across space, spectrum and missiles, with revenue jumping 190 percent and margins at 10 percent. Yet the ethical screen flags core activity in weapons and surveillance, so we pass regardless of the 17 percent margin of safety to our fair value.
Forward earnings sit at 20.7 times and analysts still cluster around a buy rating with targets near 387 dollars. Unknown competitive edge and heavy government dependence add further caution. Price alone does not decide this call.
The real constraint remains the business activity screen. We simply do not allocate capital to names that fail it, even when cash flow looks solid. Analysis, not advice.
