Metcash Limited (MTS.AX) is currently considered not halal (non-compliant), per In-house ratio engine (last assessed 2026-08-27). See the full ratio breakdown and business-activity screen below for the reasoning.
⚠️ Financial ratios are only half the screen. A company whose core business is in an excluded sector — weapons/defense, alcohol, gambling, conventional (interest-based) finance, tobacco, pork, or adult entertainment — is non-compliant even if every debt and income ratio passes. So passing ratios below don't override this verdict; check the business-activity screen for the reason.
Computed from published company financials, balance sheet as of 2026-04-30. MTS.AX files no SEC reports, so these ratios come from the issuer's own published statements rather than XBRL.

Classic floor-trader pivots from the last completed daily bar. Highlighted pills are the levels bracketing the current price.
The range is measured volatility (ATR over the horizon), not a target — a wider band means a more volatile asset, not a stronger view. The direction is the indicator tally above. Every forecast is recorded when made and scored against the real price when it comes due, including the wrong ones. Not a recommendation, and not a fatwa.
