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

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 11.5% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
  • Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 5.7% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is 15.4% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
  • Revenue purity Only 1.4% 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

Shopee And Garena Driving Southeast Asia Growth

Picture a student in Manila topping up a game account or a trader in Jakarta checking out via Shopee. Sea Limited sits behind those everyday moves across emerging Asia and Latin America, running e-commerce, payments and gaming under one roof.

Revenue is rising 47 percent, margins sit at 6 percent and return on equity reaches 15 percent. The business clears our ethical screen and carries a narrow moat, yet the opportunity rating stays at none because the valuation already prices in much of the growth.

Risks centre on competition from bigger platforms, currency swings and the fact that a 19.8 times forward multiple leaves little room for disappointment in cyclical consumer spending. Analysis, not advice.
