Is CEVA (CEVA) stock Halal?
CEVA, Inc. (CEVA) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income screen. Tabadulat re-screens CEVA monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
CEVA is a leading provider of digital signal processing platforms and artificial intelligence processors. The primary function of Ceva is to supply semiconductor companies and original equipment manufacturers with the intellectual property needed for creating cutting-edge electronic devices. The company's platforms are integral in developing applications across a wide range of industries, including mobile, consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) sector. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is CEVA stock Halal?
Is CEVA Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like CEVA is rarely about the product. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines is the money around the product: cash parked in instruments that earn Riba, borrowing measured against a market capitalisation that moves daily, and any incidental income from sources Islam prohibits, which must stay below 5% of revenue.
Does CEVA pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: CEVA currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.
Is CEVA's income Halal?
No. CEVA'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 CEVA 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 CEVA re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
