Does not pass. Debt ratio
| Test | Figure | Limit | What it means | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business activity | Permissible | Core business clean | Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines: no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. | Pass |
| Debt load | 294.11% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is 294.1% of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. | Fail |
| Interest-bearing cash | 2.10% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 2.1% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 25.73% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 25.7% of assets, under the 49% limit. | Pass |
| Revenue purity | 0.30% | Below 5% | Only 0.3% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, under the 5% line. | Pass |
Five checks adapted from AAOIFI screening standards: business activity plus four balance-sheet ratios. All five must pass for ethical clearance. Every figure is arithmetic on public accounts, not judgement.
The Conscience OverlayThe quantitative screen above is arithmetic. Separately, community boycott lists cite this company: Cited in consumer boycott campaigns for franchise pizza delivery operations in Israel. The desk records that flag here without folding it into the verdict: the screen measures the balance sheet, the overlay informs the conscience, and they are different judgements that belong to different owners. The second one is yours.
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads AVOID: it trades at roughly a 27% discount to our $404.18 fair value, 4.30% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-09-10 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 27.4% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 28 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +18% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Both our model and the analysts see meaningful upside from here.

The Business, in Plain WordsPizza deliveries cannot hide the debt load
Picture a late night order landing at the door. The franchised network behind it carries too much debt, so Domino's fails our ethical screen and we pass, even with shares below our fair value estimate.
Revenue edges ahead at 4 percent while margins sit at 12 percent and the forward multiple is 15.5 times earnings. Analysts see further upside yet the debt ratio rules the name out for us.
That leverage leaves the business exposed if consumer spending slows in this cyclical sector, turning modest growth into a cash strain. Analysis, not advice.
