Is Cactus (WHD) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Cactus, Inc. (WHD): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 99.79%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Cactus is an established player in the oil and gas sector, primarily focused on the design, manufacture, and sale of wellhead and pressure control equipment. These critical components are essential for ensuring the safe and efficient extraction of oil and natural gas. Founded with a keen emphasis on technological innovation, Cactus strives to deliver solutions that enhance operational performance and safety standards in the energy industry. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Cactus stock Halal?
Is Cactus Shariah compliant?
For a resources company like Cactus, 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 Cactus pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Cactus 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 Cactus' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Cactus' 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 99.79% tells holders of WHD what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Cactus 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 WHD re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
