Is Applied Industrial Technologies (AIT) 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. Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (AIT) passes all four screens as of September 2026, with a dividend purification factor of 99.81%.
Applied Industrial Technologies is a leading distributor and solutions provider specializing in industrial motion, fluid power, and control technologies. Its primary function is to provide a comprehensive suite of products and services that enhance operational efficiencies for industrial customers worldwide. The company serves a variety of industries including automotive, food processing, forest products, primary metals, and mining, to name a few. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Applied Industrial Technologies a Halal investment?
Is Applied Industrial Technologies Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Applied Industrial Technologies, the product is rarely the problem; aircraft, vehicles and machinery are permissible. The exposure is leverage: fleets and factories are financed, and the 30% cap that AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 places on interest bearing debt is the screen that decides most verdicts in this sector.
Does Applied Industrial Technologies pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Applied Industrial Technologies holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Applied Industrial Technologies' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Applied Industrial Technologies' 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 99.81% tells holders of AIT what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Applied Industrial Technologies 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 AIT re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
