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:

The common standard · AAOIFI
Used by most halal investing apps
✓ PASSES
Our stricter standard · asset-based
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 1.4% 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 25.4% 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

Software Bots That Still Cut Corporate Drudgery

Every office still wastes hours copying data between systems by hand. UiPath builds the software that automates those steps at scale. This is a business growing revenue 17% a year, posting 20% profit margins and 18% return on equity while holding a moderate moat and clearing our ethical screen.

The shares trade at 13.4 times forward earnings, well below our fair value of 16.25 and offering a 34% margin of safety. Sixteen analysts see a median target of only 13, yet the numbers point to steady cash generation from real productivity gains.

Competition from larger platforms could slow that growth, and the moderate moat leaves room for rivals to chip away at pricing. Execution on new deployments will decide whether the current discount closes or widens.

The risks · The things to watch: it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
