A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

Avery Dennison makes pressure-sensitive labels, packaging materials, RFID products and identification solutions. These are generally permissible manufacturing and technology activities, but apparel, customer end uses and product categories require qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator for apparel, customer end uses, RFID applications or other scholar-specific activity categories.

Purification

Gross interest income is not separately disclosed and screened operating-revenue categories are not quantified; no purification percentage is inferred.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Debt combines $605.0 million of short-term borrowings and current maturities with $3,185.1 million of long-term debt and finance leases.
  • Cash uses $255.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. Debt securities available for sale of $48.7 million are included; equity investments are excluded.
  • Trade accounts receivable are $1,647.1 million and quarterly net sales are $2,298.5 million.
  • The filing reports $35.6 million of interest expense but does not separately disclose gross interest income usable as a standalone screen input.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
