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 revenue purity 21.0%. Because both standards agree on this, it is a clear exclusion, not a borderline case.
Business activityIts core business isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending.Pass
Debt loadInterest-bearing debt is just 21.5% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money.Pass
Interest-bearing cashCash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 11.8% of assets, under the one-third limit.Pass
ReceivablesMoney owed to the company is 9.8% of assets, under the 49% limit.Pass
Revenue purity21.0% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line.Fail
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
Overpriced Chips Fail Ethical Purity Test
Picture the chips moving data inside every big AI rack from California to Taipei. Marvell sits on that supply chain, yet the shares trade at a 22 percent premium to our fair value of 147 dollars while carrying a 30 times forward earnings multiple.
Revenue purity at just 21 percent trips the ethical screen outright. Revenue is growing 28 percent and margins sit at 29 percent, yet none of that offsets the valuation gap or the fact this remains a cyclical semiconductor business where peak earnings often coincide with the lowest multiples.
High expectations from forty analysts sit behind the current price, but cyclical swings and the ethical flag keep us away. Analysis, not advice.
