Is Coda Octopus (CODA) stock Halal?
Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (CODA) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income screen. Tabadulat re-screens CODA monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Coda Octopus is an innovative technology company primarily focused on the design, development, and production of underwater technologies. With a specialization in real-time 3D sonar imaging, Coda Octopus serves critical functions in marine and subsea industries, providing advanced solutions for subsea mapping, survey, and imaging. The company’s primary products include the Echoscope range, which delivers high-definition, real-time 3D sonar images critical for underwater operations in sectors such as oil and gas, defense, and marine engineering. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Coda Octopus stock Halal?
Is Coda Octopus Shariah compliant?
Industrial businesses like Coda Octopus usually pass the activity screen without drama. The harder test is financial: heavy assets mean heavy financing, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates interest bearing debt and investments only below 30% of market capitalisation, ratios that shift with every move in the share price.
Does Coda Octopus pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Coda Octopus currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Coda Octopus' income Halal?
No. Coda Octopus' 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 Coda Octopus 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 CODA re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
