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 screen. 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 Business activity: Brewers 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
Beer Maker Fails on Both Books and Ethics
Walk into any local and the taps often carry Molson Coors brands, yet the company is losing money on almost every pint sold. We pass because the business activity screen blocks alcohol producers outright, and the figures give no reason to argue the point. Revenue inches up just 2 percent while margins sit at minus 19 percent and return on equity is minus 18 percent.
The forward multiple looks cheap at 8.2 times, but that only reflects peak-cycle earnings that are already sliding. A weak moat leaves it exposed to craft rivals and shifting tastes, and twenty-one analysts see little upside beyond a modest hold rating near current prices.
Currency swings, shifting regulations on alcohol, and thin cash generation add real downside that the low multiple does not offset. Analysis, not advice.
| Forward P/E | 8.4x expensive even after accounting for its growth |
| Revenue growth | 2.0% slow but positive growth |
| Profit margin | -18.9% currently unprofitable |
| Return on equity | -18.1% not currently earning a positive return on equity |
| Debt to equity | 0.63 moderate, manageable leverage |
| Current ratio | 0.54 below 1 — short-term bills exceed liquid assets |
| Beta | 0.42 barely tracks the market's swings |
| Market cap | $7.8B |
| Employees | 16,200 |
