Is Agios Pharmaceuticals (AGIO) stock Halal?
Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a Halal stock keeps non-permissible income below 5% of revenue and interest-bearing debt and investments each below 30% of market capitalisation. Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AGIO) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Agios Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to pioneering the development of innovative therapies for genetically defined diseases. The core focus of Agios is to leverage the science of cellular metabolism to develop transformative treatments for patients. Key areas of impact include hematological malignancies and rare genetic diseases, where the company has made significant strides in understanding and targeting the metabolic pathways that drive disease. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Agios Pharmaceuticals a Halal investment?
Is Agios Pharmaceuticals Shariah compliant?
Technology companies rarely fail AAOIFI screening on what they sell. Software, hardware and digital services are permissible business activities, so for a company like Agios Pharmaceuticals the Shariah question moves to the balance sheet: how much of its market value sits in interest bearing debt, how much of its cash earns Riba in conventional deposits, and whether incidental income from impermissible sources creeps past 5% of revenue. These are exactly the ratios AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 polices, and they move every month with the share price.
Does Agios Pharmaceuticals pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Agios Pharmaceuticals currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.
Is Agios Pharmaceuticals' income Halal?
No. Agios Pharmaceuticals' income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Agios Pharmaceuticals meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed the 30% cap, while the other ratio stays within it. One breach is enough to fail the screening; the ratios are reassessed monthly under our Shariah Supervisory Board.
