Is Criteo (CRTO) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Criteo SA (CRTO) meets every AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 requirement: non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt all sit within the thresholds, and there is no impermissible preference share structure. The dividend purification factor is 99.44%. The stock is re-screened every month.

Criteo operates a powerful Commerce Media Platform that utilizes machine learning algorithms to optimize the delivery of personalized advertisements, boosting engagement and conversions for its clients. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Criteo a Halal investment?
Is Criteo 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. Criteo 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 Criteo pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Criteo holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item in this sector is the sharpest of all: revenue must come from permissible services, not from lending at interest.
Is Criteo's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Criteo's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 99.44% tells holders of CRTO what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Criteo 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 CRTO re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
