SCREEN
The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English
This company clears both standards. There are two widely recognised ways to check whether a company is suitable for a Muslim investor. Here is how it did on each:
The common standard· AAOIFI Used by most halal investing apps✓ PASSES
Our stricter standard· asset-based The one Titan applies✓ PASSES
Business activityIts core business isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending.Pass
Debt loadInterest-bearing debt is of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows.Fail
Interest-bearing cashInterest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit.Fail
ReceivablesMoney owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit.Fail
Revenue purity of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line.Fail
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
Cement pours tied to the construction cycle
When a highway extension gets poured outside Dallas or a warehouse rises near Chicago, Amrize supplies the cement and aggregates that hold the project together. The business sits inside a sector that expands and contracts with interest rates, public spending and housing starts.
We pass. Shares trade 10% above our fair value, revenue growth sits at just 5% and the narrow moat plus 10% ROE give little margin when volumes turn down. A forward multiple of 15.6 times looks ordinary rather than cheap once the cycle is considered.
The classic trap in this industry is that earnings often peak while multiples still appear reasonable. Here the modest growth, single-country exposure and construction sensitivity add real downside if spending slows. Analysis, not advice.
