It is not a 'stealth' fighter. The shape itself doesn't make it stealth.

There's nothing stealth about it.

It merely has a somewhat smaller radar cross-section due to being a tailless flying wing without propellers. But then, a Cessna also has a smaller radar cross-section than a 747 - that doesn't make the Cessna 'stealth', though.
