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 excluded industry: aerospace & defense. 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 Excluded industry: Aerospace & Defense Fail
  • Debt load Interest-bearing debt is of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
  • Interest-bearing cash Interest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit. Fail
  • Revenue purity of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. Fail

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

Jets for airlines and militaries alike

Think of Embraer as the Brazilian firm turning steel and software into regional jets and defence platforms that serve airlines and governments from Latin America to Asia. Revenue is rising 18 percent, the shares trade at 16.6 times forward earnings with a 23 percent gap to our fair value, and fifteen analysts call the stock a strong buy. None of that matters once the ethical screen lights up.

We pass because the company sits squarely inside aerospace and defence, an excluded industry under our rules. A narrow moat, 4 percent profit margins and 9 percent return on equity already signal limited pricing power and thin returns, yet the decisive line is the ethical one, not the valuation.

Brazil exposure adds currency and political swings that can erase any apparent margin of safety in a single quarter. Analysis, not advice.
