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 debt ratio. 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 isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
  • Debt load Interest-bearing debt is 63.7% of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
  • 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 4.3% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
  • Revenue purity 6.3% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. 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.

Trailing P/E14.3x

Revenue growth7.3%
slow but positive growth
Profit margin30.4%
highly profitable on every dollar of sales
Return on equity11.8%
a modest return on shareholder capital
Debt to equity1.96
a meaningful debt load worth watching

adequate liquidity, worth monitoring
Beta0.15

Market cap$157M

The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; its business and earnings are exposed to Kuwait and to currency swings; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
