Is Cementos Pacasmayo SAA (CPAC) stock Halal?
Cementos Pacasmayo SAA (CPAC) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the interest-bearing debt screen. Tabadulat re-screens CPAC monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Cementos Pacasmayo SAA manufactures cement, concrete blocks, ready-mix concrete, precast elements like paving units and bricks, and quicklime used in mining, steel, food, fishing, and chemical industries. Complementing its core offerings, Cementos Pacasmayo distributes third-party construction supplies including steel rebar, wires, nails, corrugated iron, electric conductors, and plastic tubes through a network of over 130 independent retailers, hardware stores, and direct sales to construction firms. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Cementos Pacasmayo SAA stock Halal?
Is Cementos Pacasmayo SAA Shariah compliant?
For a resources company like Cementos Pacasmayo SAA, 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 Cementos Pacasmayo SAA pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Cementos Pacasmayo SAA currently fails the interest-bearing debt screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself, extracting and selling resources, raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Cementos Pacasmayo SAA's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Cementos Pacasmayo SAA's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Cementos Pacasmayo SAA meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing debt currently exceeds 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.
