How to Read

The lane spans the 5th to 95th percentile of 85 companies in the same GICS sector: the line is the sector median, the dot is the company. Same source as the Stock Scorecard; measures without sector data get no lane. Position is not a grade: being high or low is not good or bad on its own.

12-Month Recommendation Mix28 Analysts · October 2026

These five buckets are the 12-month ratings of the analysts covering the stock. They are not a price target and they say nothing about timing. Ratings move slowly and in step, so the distribution usually turns after the price rather than before it.

This Is Not a Religious Ruling

It is an automated pre-screen based on the line of business and AAOIFI's widely used financial thresholds; a final judgement rests with your own school of thought and the certification boards that audit the filings.

The interest-income test (5% of revenue) needs a revenue breakdown our free data source doesn't provide, so that criterion isn't screened.

US dividends are taxed at source: under the US–Türkiye treaty, individual investors pay 20% with a W-8BEN form on file and 30% without. Amounts are gross, per share, before tax. What Is W-8BEN Tax Guide

How It's Calculated

US settlement is T+1: to receive the dividend you must have bought the shares by the close of the trading day before the ex-date. Shares bought on or after the ex-date don't receive that dividend.

The annual yield estimate is the latest regular dividend × payments per year ÷ the last price; it isn't shown when the payment frequency can't be established from past payments, or when the payment is special or from a foreign issuer.

How to Read

Colored chips are open-market decisions; dimmed rows are grants, tax withholding, gifts or option exercises, which are not trading decisions.

Rows come from SEC Form 4 filings; parts of the same filing are merged into one transaction. The summary counts only open-market buys and sales: grants, tax withholding, gifts and option exercises are not trading decisions. Pre-planned (10b5-1) sales are not flagged separately by the source.

The role under each name is taken from the person's latest Form 4 filing; when the filing cannot be read, the row shows the name only.

MSPR runs from −100 to 100: 100 means only buying that month, −100 only selling. An empty month means the source has no computed value for it; recent months can reach the source late.
