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 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 252.3% of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
- Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 15.0% 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
Heavy debt sinks this asset manager
Picture a giant asset manager juggling real estate, infrastructure and renewables while barely clearing the decks. We pass on Brookfield because low returns and an ethical red flag outweigh any surface appeal from the 7.4 times forward multiple.
Profit margins sit at 2 percent, return on equity at 3 percent and the moat looks weak despite 8 percent revenue growth. The ethical screen fails outright on the debt ratio, which is exactly the kind of leverage that bites when rates stay high or property values wobble.
Analysts still cluster around a 56 dollar target yet the thin returns and debt load leave little margin for error. Analysis, not advice.
| Forward P/E | 7.1x fairly priced for its growth rate |
| Trailing P/E | 81.7x expensive — the price assumes strong growth ahead |
| Revenue growth | 7.9% slow but positive growth |
| Profit margin | 1.7% barely profitable |
| Return on equity | 2.5% a modest return on shareholder capital |
| Debt to equity | 1.61 a meaningful debt load worth watching |
| Current ratio | 0.89 below 1 — short-term bills exceed liquid assets |
| Beta | 1.84 much more volatile than the market |
| Market cap | $93.1B |
The risks · The things to watch: it already moves more than the market on an average day; its business and earnings are exposed to Canada and to currency swings; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
