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 debt ratio. 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 Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
  • Debt load Interest-bearing debt is 35.6% of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
  • Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 17.0% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
  • Revenue purity Only 0.0% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources — under the 5% line. Pass

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

Globant trades cheap but debt kills the case

Picture a software shop promising AI magic while its balance sheet quietly creaks under too much borrowed money. Globant fails our ethical screen on debt ratio, and that single red flag overrides the headline numbers. Forward earnings sit at just 4.9 times, yet revenue shrank 1 percent last year, margins scrape 4 percent and return on equity limps along at 5 percent with a weak competitive moat.

We pass because an ethical breach is non-negotiable regardless of the 94 percent gap between the $32.23 share price and our $62.50 fair value. Twenty-two analysts still say buy with a $50 median target, but the business shows no durable edge and the debt load sits outside our tolerance.

Risk sits mainly in the leverage and the lack of growth, which together turn a low multiple into a warning rather than a bargain. Analysis, not advice.

The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; its business and earnings are exposed to Luxembourg and to currency swings.
