Price history & projections · where it has been, where the models see it going
The valuation journey · where the price sits against fair value and the Street
Green marks levels above today's price, red below; the shaded band is the gap between the price and our fair value.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish — a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.

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:
Used by most halal investing apps ✗ DOES NOT PASS
The one Titan applies ✗ DOES NOT PASS
Why it fails. The problem is its cash ratio 50.3%. Because both standards agree on this, it is a clear exclusion, not a borderline case.
What these two standards are, and how they differ →
- Business activity Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
- Debt load Interest-bearing debt is just 9.7% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
- Interest-bearing cash Interest-bearing cash and securities are 50.3% of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
- Receivables Money owed to the company is 1.7% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
- Revenue purity Only 1.7% 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.
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
Why it gives us pause
At 32.9x forward earnings, the price already runs ahead of the business. It trades 6% above our $1,588.28 fair value, so you would be buying at a premium, not a discount.
| Forward P/E | 32.9x expensive even after accounting for its growth |
| Trailing P/E | 39.4x expensive — the price assumes strong growth ahead |
| Revenue growth | 3.9% slow but positive growth |
| Profit margin | 28.3% healthy profit margins |
| Return on equity | 25.2% an exceptional return on shareholder capital |
| Debt to equity | 0.12 minimal debt — a conservative balance sheet |
| Beta | 0.99 steadier than the market |
| Market cap | $177.8B |
| Employees | 25,414 |
