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 business activity: alcohol. 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 involves an activity the values screen does not clear. 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.
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
| Forward P/E | 11.9x reasonably valued |
| Trailing P/E | 52.9x expensive — the price assumes strong growth ahead |
| Revenue growth | -8.2% revenue is shrinking |
| Profit margin | 4.6% barely profitable |
| Debt to equity | 0.96 moderate, manageable leverage |
| Current ratio | 1.61 healthy short-term liquidity |
| Beta | -0.08 barely tracks the market's swings |
| Market cap | $797.2B |
The risks · The things to watch: its business and earnings are exposed to Japan and to currency swings.
