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 | 18.15% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 18.2% 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 | 32.21% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 32.2% 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
Jabil 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.

2026-09-24
Clears
Jabil clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 18%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.

The Business, in Plain WordsCircuit board maker priced above its worth
Picture a factory turning out circuit boards for phones, cars and medical gear in dozens of countries. Jabil handles that global supply chain, yet it carries only a weak moat and a thin 3% profit margin despite 12% revenue growth.
We pass because the shares trade at a forward P/E of 18 times while our fair value sits well below the current price. High return on equity of 66% looks impressive on paper, but the weak competitive position and modest margins leave little room for error.
Analysts still rate the stock a buy with a 450 median target, yet cyclical swings in electronics demand and thin margins remain real threats to those forecasts. Analysis, not advice.
