Price

Shariah compliance

YUM BRANDS INC is questionable: debt vs. market cap at 29.31% against a 33% limit, and cash & interest-bearing assets vs. market cap at 1.74% against a 33% limit. Nothing in the arithmetic is close to a threshold.

  • Interest income not separately disclosed in filings; assumed immaterial (cash+securities / market cap = 1.7% < 20%).
  • Gray-area industry (food service): restaurant/food service — commonly serves alcohol and/or non-halal meat. Flagged automatically by an industry-category rule, not a case-by-case review.
