Is AMREP (AXR) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for AMREP Corp. (AXR): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, fail. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. AMREP Corp. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
AMREP is a diversified real estate and media services company, primarily focusing on land development and homebuilding activities. With a key concentration in the southwest United States, especially in regions like New Mexico, the company acquires large tracts of land, converting them into residential, commercial, and industrial parcels. Amrep engages in the selling of developed lots to homebuilders, contributing significantly to the housing market infrastructure in these areas. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is AMREP stock Halal?
Is AMREP Shariah compliant?
Real estate begins from a strong position in Shariah screening: buildings and land are permissible assets. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines for AMREP is the mortgage financing behind the portfolio, capped at 30% of market capitalisation, and whether tenant income includes impermissible sources beyond the 5% ceiling.
Does AMREP pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: AMREP currently fails the interest-bearing investments screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is the tenant roll: rental income from impermissible businesses counts against the 5% ceiling.
Is AMREP's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. AMREP's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does AMREP 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.
