SCREEN
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
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 of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows.Fail
Interest-bearing cashInterest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit.Fail
ReceivablesMoney owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit.Fail
Revenue purity 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
Circuit boards for everyone yet thin rewards
Picture a factory that quietly builds the guts inside servers, medical gear and cars for the biggest names in tech. Sanmina sits in that spot, churning out components across four continents while revenue doubled last year.
The numbers show real scale yet slim rewards. A 15 times forward earnings multiple looks modest against 102 percent revenue growth and a clean ethical screen, yet a 2 percent profit margin and 11 percent return on equity leave little room for error. The narrow moat and lack of pricing power explain why we rate this none despite the gap to our fair value.
Risk sits in those wafer-thin margins and the cyclical swings that hit contract manufacturers hardest when orders slow. Currency moves and customer concentration add further pressure that the market has not fully priced. Analysis, not advice.
