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 1.5% 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 7.1% of assets, under the one-third limit.Pass
ReceivablesMoney owed to the company is 0.0% 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
Rare earths boom meets China sized swings
Rare earths sit at the heart of EVs, wind turbines and defence kit, yet supply still hinges on one dominant player and prices lurch with policy shifts. Lynas shows 63 percent revenue growth and clears the ethical screen, yet trades right at our fair value estimate with a 27.5 times forward multiple, 12 percent margins and just 3 percent return on equity.
A weak moat leaves it exposed to new entrants and substitution, while the industry cycle means today's growth can vanish when demand cools or Chinese output rises. Low returns on equity already hint that strong top line gains are not translating into durable profits.
In cyclical miners a mid-cycle multiple rarely signals a bargain; it often flags peak earnings that will compress when the cycle turns. Analysis, not advice.
