SCREEN
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:
The common standard· AAOIFI Used by most halal investing apps✗ DOES NOT PASS
Our stricter standard· asset-based The one Titan applies✗ DOES NOT PASS
Why it fails. The problem is its business activity screen. Because both standards agree on this, it is a clear exclusion, not a borderline case.
Business activityBusiness activity: Aerospace & DefenseFail
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
Textron trips on defence work before numbers matter
Textron keeps Bell helicopters and Cessna jets moving through government and corporate hands every year. We pass because the business activity screen rules out any stake on ethical grounds, full stop.
Revenue climbs 12 percent yet the 6 percent profit margin and 12 percent ROE sit behind a narrow moat. The 12.6 times forward multiple and 26 percent gap to fair value cannot override that hard block.
Defence cycles add their own swings while 16 analysts still push a 100 dollar target. Analysis, not advice.
