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:
Used by most halal investing apps ✗ DOES NOT PASS
The one Titan applies ✗ DOES NOT PASS
Why it fails. The problem is its accounts receivable. Because both standards agree on this, it is a clear exclusion, not a borderline case.
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 26.9% 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 10.9% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
- Receivables Money owed to the company is 80.7% 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.
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
Rare disease biotech missing the numbers that matter
A family facing spinal muscular atrophy needs real treatments, not just hope. Scholar Rock works on molecular mechanisms that could ease neuromuscular diseases, with analysts clustered around a $58 target and our own fair value sitting only 10 percent higher than the current $52.86 price.
We pass. The ethical screen returns insufficient data because basic financial ratios are absent, and the available figures, forward P/E of minus 22.3 times, zero profit margin and return on equity of minus 139 percent, leave too many gaps for a clear verdict. Unknown moat adds to the uncertainty.
Those gaps matter in a sector where most candidates fail late trials and cash burn can stretch for years. Without reliable ratios the margin of safety stays untested, regardless of bullish consensus. Analysis, not advice.
| Forward P/E | -22.2x |
| Profit margin | 0.0% currently unprofitable |
| Return on equity | -138.9% not currently earning a positive return on equity |
| Debt to equity | 0.75 moderate, manageable leverage |
| Current ratio | 8.64 comfortably covers its short-term bills |
| Beta | 0.67 steadier than the market |
| Market cap | $6.3B |
| Employees | 289 |
