Five Screens, Shown in Full
This security has not been fully scored against the values screen yet.
| Test | Figure | Limit | What it means | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business activity | Permissible | Core business clean | Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines: no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. | Pass |
| Debt load | 16.52% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 16.5% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 0.00% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.0% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 22.63% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 22.6% of assets, under the 49% limit. | Pass |
Five checks adapted from AAOIFI screening standards: business activity plus four balance-sheet ratios. All five must pass for ethical clearance. Every figure is arithmetic on public accounts, not judgement.
The Ethical ReadThe Read, in Plain English
ProPetro clears the business-activity screen and the figures we can measure look clean, but one or more financial figures are still pending, so the verdict is not final yet.
Read as at 2026-10-27. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.
2026-09-24
Clears
ProPetro clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 17%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.
Earlier reads, kept as written. The ethical profile is tracked over time, not overwritten.

The Business, in Plain WordsOil services firm losing money in a downturn
Picture a contractor whose rigs sit idle the moment drillers cut back on wells. ProPetro fits that picture exactly, with revenue already down a quarter and both profit margin and return on equity sitting at minus one percent. Forward earnings sit at nearly 32 times while fair value lies below the current price, so the numbers give no reason to step in.
The analyst crowd still carries a buy tag and a higher target, yet the business carries no visible moat and operates in a sector where earnings swing violently with oil prices. Passing on the name keeps the portfolio clear of that volatility.
Even in cyclical energy work a low multiple can mask peak profits that soon disappear, and here the multiple is not low anyway. Ethical checks clear but the financial case does not. Analysis, not advice.
