Why This Stock Is Doubtful

  • Business activity: the company's own filing confirms revenue from an activity AAOIFI treats as prohibited but does not disclose its share, so it cannot be shown to be under the 5% limit.

Stocks are marked Doubtful when financial ratios pass but approach AAOIFI thresholds. Consider consulting a qualified scholar for a definitive ruling.
