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

13.50Conservative13.80Base case15.74Growth case 13.63Price

Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2025-12-31 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 1.2% margin of safety to the base estimate.

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.
