SCREEN
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 business activity screen. Because both standards agree on this, it is a clear exclusion, not a borderline case.
Business activityBusiness activity: Aerospace & DefenseFail
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.
PLAIN
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
GE engines power jets yet fail our test
Picture a jet climbing through clear skies on engines built by GE Aerospace. The company turns out commercial and defence power units, posts 21% revenue growth, an 18% profit margin and 48% ROE, and still draws a strong buy call from twenty one analysts.
We pass anyway. The shares sit 18% above our fair value at a 39.9 times forward multiple, and the business fails our activity screen because of its defence work. No amount of cash generation or moderate moat changes that verdict.
The analyst target of four hundred dollars ignores both the premium price and the ethical line we draw. Analysis, not advice.
