Is Antero Resources (AR) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Antero Resources Corp. (AR): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 100%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Antero Resources is a prominent player in the energy sector, primarily focused on the exploration, production, and development of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and oil properties. With significant operations concentrated in the Appalachian Basin, particularly the rich fields in West Virginia and Ohio, Antero Resources leverages technological advancements and innovative drilling techniques to optimize its resource extraction process. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Antero Resources stock Halal?
Is Antero Resources Shariah compliant?
For a resources company like Antero Resources, AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 has little quarrel with the product; the scrutiny falls on the financing. Heavy machinery and long project cycles are usually funded with debt, and the standard tolerates interest bearing borrowing only below 30% of market capitalisation.
Does Antero Resources pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Antero Resources holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself, extracting and selling resources, raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Antero Resources' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Antero Resources' income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 100% tells holders of AR what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Antero Resources meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Yes. Both caps hold this month: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each stay below 30% of market capitalisation. Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has AR re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
