Plain-English Summary
Compliant under AAOIFI, DJIM, S&P (debt/MC 15.1%, well under their 30–33% caps), but fails FTSE, MSCI on debt/assets 39.8% > FTSE 33%, MSCI 33%.
Why Screeners May Disagree on ETN
AAOIFI's two recognized ratio bases disagree for ETN: the market-capitalization reading (per Shari'ah Standard 21 §3/4) is compliant, while the total-assets reading (used by FTSE/MSCI-style screeners) is non-compliant (debt/assets 39.8% > 30%). Apps using different bases will legitimately differ on this stock.

Purification
No purification required at material levels
The purification rate estimates the share of the company's income attributable to impure sources (primarily interest). Scholars recommend donating that share of any dividends or gains to charity. Use the terminal's purification calculator for exact amounts on your holding.

Different services apply different ratio bases (market capitalization vs total assets), different revenue classifications, and different data vintages. This page shows both AAOIFI readings side by side and classifies revenue segments explicitly so the source of any disagreement is visible.
