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

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 just 15.7% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
  • Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.3% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is 12.6% 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

Power demand surge lifts this nuclear operator

Every time a data centre spins up or a factory switches to electric heat, Constellation Energy sells the power that keeps the lights on. Revenue is rising 64 percent, margins sit at 13 percent and return on equity reaches 16 percent. It trades at 18.6 times forward earnings with a 12 percent gap to our fair value and passes the ethical screen.

The company operates across five US regions with a narrow moat built on nuclear assets that others cannot easily copy. Analysts see further upside and the growth rate stands out against typical utility peers.

Power prices can swing sharply with weather and fuel costs, while regulation adds another layer of uncertainty. A narrow moat also means new entrants could chip away at returns over time.
