Is CLPS (CLPS) 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. CLPS, Inc. (CLPS) does not meet the threshold for the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
CLPS is a global information technology and consulting company that provides an array of IT and business consulting services primarily across the banking, finance, and insurance sectors. The company's primary function is to deliver software development, maintenance, and testing services, as well as IT consulting and solutions, to meet the operational needs of its clients. CLPS serves a broad spectrum of industries, enhancing their business processes with technologies such as fintech innovations, automation, and data analytics. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is CLPS a Halal investment?
Is CLPS Shariah compliant?
Technology companies rarely fail AAOIFI screening on what they sell. Software, hardware and digital services are permissible business activities, so for a company like CLPS the Shariah question moves to the balance sheet: how much of its market value sits in interest bearing debt, how much of its cash earns Riba in conventional deposits, and whether incidental income from impermissible sources creeps past 5% of revenue. These are exactly the ratios AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 polices, and they move every month with the share price.
Does CLPS pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: CLPS currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, 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 CLPS' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. CLPS' income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does CLPS meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each exceed the limit AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. The ratios move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, and our Shariah Supervisory Board has CLPS re-screened every month.
