Is Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (CIG.C) 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. Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais SA (CIG.C) does not meet the threshold for the interest-bearing debt screen as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais S.A. Sponsored ADR, commonly known as CEMIG, is an American Depositary Receipt representing shares of the Brazilian utility company. CEMIG primarily operates within the electric utility sector, where its core function is to provide electrical power generation, transmission, and distribution services. As one of Brazil's most prominent power companies, CEMIG serves a critical role in meeting the nation’s energy demands. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais a Halal investment?
Is Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais Shariah compliant?
Finance is the sector where Shariah screening does the most work, because Riba is not incidental here, it can be the product itself. Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais passes the business activity screen only if its revenue comes from permissible services rather than lending at interest, and the financial screens of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 still apply in full.
Does Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais currently fails the interest-bearing debt screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item in this sector is the sharpest of all: revenue must come from permissible services, not from lending at interest.
Is Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais' income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais 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.
