Five Screens, Shown in Full
Full pass across all five screens. This security clears the Titan Ethical Standard: its business and its balance sheet both stay inside the lines.
| 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 | 0.64% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 0.6% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 20.29% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 20.3% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 47.06% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 47.1% of assets, under the 49% limit. | Pass |
| Revenue purity | 0.83% | Below 5% | Only 0.8% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, under the 5% line. | 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 ReadWhy It Clears, in Plain English
Toast clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its debt is near-nil, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.

The Business, in Plain WordsTablets at every restaurant table hide a narrow moat
Walk into any busy restaurant and the tablet taking orders and payments is probably running Toast. The business sits on 22 percent revenue growth, a 6 percent profit margin and 22 percent ROE while clearing the ethical screen with a narrow moat.
Those figures look respectable and the shares trade at 17.8 times forward earnings with a 31 percent margin of safety to our fair value. Yet the opportunity rating sits at none, so we pass.
Risk sits in the narrow moat and heavy reliance on US restaurants where competition can intensify quickly. Analyst targets cluster around 35 dollars, below our own number. Analysis, not advice.
