Financial statements below the thresholds, but the company's activity remains to be verified.
This verdict follows the median view, that of AAOIFI Standard No. 21. It is based on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended 08/30/2026.
The ratios
| Criterion | Measure | Threshold | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 1.4% of market capitalization | 30% | within threshold |
| Interest-bearing investments | 4.7% of market capitalization | 30% | within threshold |
| Impermissible income | 0.2% of revenue | 5% | within threshold |
Standard: AAOIFI, Standard No. 21.
Margin to threshold and trend
| Item | Ratio (fiscal year end) | Threshold (AAOIFI, Standard No. 21) | Margin | Change since year end | Estimated ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 1.4% | 30% | 28.6% | not read | — |
| Interest-bearing investments | 4.7% | 30% | 25.3% | not read | — |
No quarterly financial statements after fiscal year end, or inconsistent reading: the change is not shown. "On watch" flags a permitted company whose estimated ratio reaches the threshold, or is within 5 points of the threshold and rising. This is neither a forecast nor advice.
The three views
- Median view, our reference : the company is admitted, provided the gains are purified.
- Strictest view : the company is excluded, because it borrows or invests at interest.
- Most lenient view : the company is admitted (Al Rajhi, Albilad Capital).
