SCREEN
The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English
This company is excluded by both standards. There are two widely recognised ways to check whether a company is suitable for a Muslim investor. It fails on both:
The common standard· AAOIFI Used by most halal investing apps✗ DOES NOT PASS
Our stricter standard· asset-based The one Titan applies✗ DOES NOT PASS
Why it fails. The problem is its business activity: leveraged / inverse / derivative instrument (gharar). Because both standards agree on this, it is a clear exclusion, not a borderline case.
Business activityIts core business involves an activity the values screen does not clear.Fail
Debt loadInterest-bearing debt is just 2.1% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money.Pass
Interest-bearing cashInterest-bearing cash and securities are 58.3% of assets, above the one-third limit.Fail
ReceivablesMoney owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit.Pass
Revenue purityOnly 0.0% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources — under the 5% line.Pass
Every security is read against two recognised standards: our stricter asset-based screen (ratios measured against total assets) and the more widely used market-value standard (measured against market capitalisation). Where they agree we say so plainly; where they part ways — almost always on the debt check — we show both readings and mark it, because that disagreement is the finding, not a fault. We report the score; you and your scholar make the call.
PLAIN
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
Webull chases traders yet fails basic checks
Picture a trading app that pulls in users fast across borders. Revenue climbs 36 percent, yet the firm still posts a 2 percent loss margin and negative 1 percent return on equity, with a weak moat protecting nothing durable. The ethical screen flags a failed cash ratio, so we pass regardless of the 45 percent gap between the 7.23 price and our 10.46 fair value.
Forward earnings sit at 23.7 times while three analysts still push a 13 target and a strong buy call. That optimism ignores the missing profits and thin competitive edge that leave little room for error once growth slows.
Risk sits in the cash shortfall and thin margins that could turn any slowdown into deeper losses. The market loves the story, yet the numbers and ethics point the other way. Analysis, not advice.
