The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English
This company clears both standards. There are two widely recognised ways to check whether a company is suitable for a Muslim investor. Here is how it did on each:
Used by most halal investing apps ✓ PASSES
The one Titan applies ✓ PASSES
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 just 10.0% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
- Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 11.5% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
- Receivables Money owed to the company is 15.7% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
- Revenue purity Only 1.1% 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
Alphabet, Pioneer of the Digital Highway
Imagine the digital world as a vast city, Alphabet Inc's Google is the main thoroughfare that everyone passes through. From search to ads, Alphabet's products are the quintessential infrastructure of the internet age. Its wide moat, robust profit margins at 55%, and an impressive return on equity of 49%, all underscore why it stands out among its peers. With revenue growth of 24%, Alphabet's dominance is as strong as ever, and the forward P/E of 24.2x, while not cheap, reflects the market's belief in its enduring growth.
However, risks are not absent. Alphabet's business is inherently tied to the fluctuating digital ad market and regulatory scrutiny, particularly over data privacy and antitrust concerns. Despite consensus strong buy ratings and a median target of $425, the ethical and regulatory winds could shift, impacting its trajectory. The fair value we place at $374.58 offers a 5% margin of safety, acknowledging the potential headwinds.
Analysis, not advice.
| Forward P/E | 24.2x fairly priced for its growth rate |
| Trailing P/E | 17.9x reasonably valued |
| Revenue growth | 24.2% strong top-line growth |
| Profit margin | 54.8% highly profitable on every dollar of sales |
| Return on equity | 48.7% an exceptional return on shareholder capital |
| Debt to equity | 0.19 minimal debt — a conservative balance sheet |
| Current ratio | 2.72 comfortably covers its short-term bills |
| Beta | 1.24 moves a little more than the market |
| Market cap | $4.36T |
| Employees | 194,668 |
