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 42.2% of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
  • Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 8.4% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is 2.4% 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

Utility shares priced beyond their steady worth

Paying a power bill feels routine and reliable, yet Dominion Energy trades at a clear premium to what the numbers support. The shares sit 11 percent above our fair value with an 18.6 times forward multiple, while a narrow moat and modest 10 percent return on equity do not justify the stretch.

We pass for straightforward reasons. Revenue growth looks solid at 23 percent but the valuation leaves little margin, the consensus target sits below the current price, and the stock fails our ethical screen on its debt ratio. Regulated utilities can offer stability, yet none of that offsets the gap here.

High leverage adds real exposure if rates stay elevated or if allowed returns come under pressure from regulators. The narrow moat offers little protection against those shifts. Analysis, not advice.
