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 0.5% 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 15.9% 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
Why it is worth knowing
A quality business. It trades close to our $5.00 fair value, so the easy discount is gone — you would be paying up for the quality.
| Forward P/E | -1.1x |
| Revenue growth | 19.6% steady growth |
| Profit margin | -2.6% currently unprofitable |
| Return on equity | -3.5% not currently earning a positive return on equity |
| Debt to equity | 0.92 moderate, manageable leverage |
| Current ratio | 3.19 comfortably covers its short-term bills |
| Beta | 2.68 much more volatile than the market |
| Market cap | $48M |
| Employees | 26 |
The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; it already moves more than the market on an average day.
