Five Screens, Shown in Full
This security has not been fully scored against the values screen yet.
| 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 | 14.26% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 14.3% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 5.44% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 5.4% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 0.00% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. | 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 Ethical ReadThe Read, in Plain English
EnerSys clears the business-activity screen and the figures we can measure look clean, but one or more financial figures are still pending, so the verdict is not final yet.
Read as at 2026-10-27. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.
2026-09-24
Clears
EnerSys clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 14%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.
Earlier reads, kept as written. The ethical profile is tracked over time, not overwritten.
What the Numbers Say It Is WorthThe Fair Value Range
Our analysis reads AVOID: it trades at roughly a 61% discount to our $272.51 fair value, moderate competitive moat, 4.80% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-10-23 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 61.2% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 4 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +55% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Both our model and the analysts see meaningful upside from here.

The Business, in Plain WordsBattery Maker Looks Cheap But Growth Has Flatlined
Picture a warehouse forklift or a data centre backup system. EnerSys supplies the batteries that keep those running day after day. Yet the business is expanding revenue by just 1 percent a year while posting an 8 percent profit margin and 15 percent return on equity. At 14.6 times forward earnings the shares trade well below our calculated fair value, yet we still pass.
The moderate moat and ethical screen clearance are not enough to offset the lack of momentum. Five analysts see little upside from here and the stock offers no compelling reason to own it when faster-growing industrials exist elsewhere.
Low growth in a cyclical sector often signals peak earnings rather than a bargain. Investors chasing the apparent discount risk watching multiples compress further if industrial demand softens. Analysis, not advice.
