Is Centrus Energy (LEU) 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. Centrus Energy Corp. (LEU) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Centrus Energy is a diversified energy company focusing on the supply of nuclear fuel and services for the global nuclear power industry. The primary function of the company is to provide enriched uranium, a critical component in the production of nuclear energy. Centrus Energy plays a significant role in the nuclear fuel cycle, participating in activities that range from uranium enrichment to nuclear fuel sales. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Centrus Energy a Halal investment?
Is Centrus Energy Shariah compliant?
Extracting and selling oil, gas or materials is a permissible business, so companies like Centrus Energy rarely stumble on the activity screen. The pressure point is capital structure: energy is a capital hungry industry that borrows heavily, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 caps interest bearing debt at 30% of market capitalisation, a line that moves as commodity cycles move the share price.
Does Centrus Energy pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Centrus Energy currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens, 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 Centrus Energy's income Halal?
No. Centrus Energy's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Centrus Energy 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.
