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:

The common standard · AAOIFI
Used by most halal investing apps
✗ DOES NOT PASS
Our stricter standard · asset-based
The one Titan applies
✗ DOES NOT PASS

Why it fails. The problem is its business activity. 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 Prohibited sector: defense Fail
  • Debt load Interest-bearing debt is just 0.0% 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 0.0% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
  • Revenue purity Only 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.

The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean

Aerospace parts maker hits ethical wall

HEICO supplies the specialist components that keep both commercial jets and military aircraft in the air longer. Fleets keep ageing and travel volumes keep climbing, so demand for its repairs and parts stays solid.

We pass. The company fails our ethical screen on business activity grounds. Shares also sit at 49.5 times forward earnings, well above our fair value of 269 dollars, despite 25 percent revenue growth, 16 percent margins and 17 percent ROE.

Analyst targets at 400 dollars already price in perfection. Any slowdown in aerospace cycles or margin pressure would hit the multiple hard, and the ethical flag rules it out regardless.
