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 | 25.53% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 25.5% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 0.44% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.4% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 14.57% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 14.6% 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
Eaton 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 2026-10-29. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.
2026-09-24
Clears
Eaton clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 26%, 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.

The Business, in Plain WordsPower Management's Priced for Perfection
Every time the lights stay on or a vehicle hums along smoothly, chances are Eaton Corporation is in the background, quietly doing its job. This Ireland-based power management company spans electrical components to vehicle systems, ensuring power flows efficiently. Why it stands out: Eaton's 21% revenue growth and 13% profit margin are solid, but the stock's current price of $415.29 is higher than our fair value of $403.34, marking it as overvalued by a conservative 3%.
The forward P/E of 25.9x is hefty, considering the market averages. While the company's 20% return on equity is commendable, indicating strong profitability relative to shareholders' equity, the stock's valuation leaves little room for error. Risk sits in the high side, largely due to the premium investors are currently paying and the potential for market readjustments.
