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 68.0% 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 64.3% of assets, above the 49% limit. Fail
  • Revenue purity Only 1.7% 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

Clean power dreams meet stretched valuations here

Picture a data centre or factory that wants steady power without the grid. Bloom Energy sells fuel cell boxes that turn gas or hydrogen into electricity on site. Revenue is exploding at 130 percent yet the shares trade well above our fair value with a negative margin of safety.

The business carries a narrow moat and zero profit margin. Return on equity sits at just 1 percent while the forward multiple is 47 times. Analysts like the story and their median target sits higher, but the numbers show a company still burning cash to chase growth.

High valuation and thin returns leave little room for error on execution or fuel costs. Ethical screen passes yet opportunity rating stays at none. Analysis, not advice.

The risks · The things to watch: it already moves more than the market on an average day; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
