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:
Used by most halal investing apps ✓ PASSES
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 of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
- Interest-bearing cash Interest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
- Receivables Money owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit. Fail
- 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
Cybersecurity tool priced well beyond its worth
Picture a firm selling digital armour that promises to spot every crack in your defences. Tenable sells exactly that, yet the market values it as if profits were already flowing strongly and growth accelerating fast. We pass because the current price sits 22% above our fair value with revenue expanding just 10% and both profit margins and returns on equity still negative.
The forward multiple of 18.4 times earnings looks ordinary until you notice the business has yet to turn a profit. Analysts may cluster around a buy rating with a $30 median target, yet that sits below today's quote and leaves little margin for the execution risks that come with an unknown competitive moat. Ethical screens clear, but the numbers do not support ownership here.
High expectations baked into the share price leave little room for slower adoption or tougher competition in exposure management. A single quarter of missed growth could reset sentiment quickly. Analysis, not advice.
| Forward P/E | 18.4x priced for continued growth |
| Revenue growth | 9.6% steady growth |
| Profit margin | -1.2% currently unprofitable |
| Return on equity | -3.7% not currently earning a positive return on equity |
| Debt to equity | 1.70 a meaningful debt load worth watching |
| Current ratio | 0.85 below 1 — short-term bills exceed liquid assets |
| Beta | 0.93 steadier than the market |
| Market cap | $4.4B |
| Employees | 1,995 |
The risks · The things to watch: it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
