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 just 18.8% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money.Pass
Interest-bearing cashCash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 8.7% of assets, under the one-third limit.Pass
ReceivablesMoney owed to the company is 3.8% of assets, under the 49% limit.Pass
Revenue purityOnly 0.0% 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.
PLAIN
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
Gas producer showing momentum near fair value
Picture an Appalachian wellhead humming away while prices swing like a pendulum. EQT sits right in that flow, selling natural gas and liquids into a market that still needs the molecule. The business is posting 50% revenue growth, 35% profit margins and a moderate moat, all at a forward multiple of 11.9 times. That combination explains the strong opportunity tag and the narrow 4% margin above our $51.66 fair value.
Numbers like these stand out because the company clears our ethical screen and shows real cash generation rather than just hoped-for reserves. ROE at 13% is decent for the sector, and the analyst crowd leans buy with a median target well above the current $49.56 price. The setup looks attractive on paper.
Yet this remains a classic cyclical business where low multiples often signal peak earnings rather than a bargain. Energy prices can drop fast, and any volume or cost miss would compress those margins quickly. The modest safety cushion leaves little room for disappointment. Analysis, not advice.
