Cryo-Cell International is a prominent biotechnology company that specializes in cord blood and tissue banking services. Established with a focus on providing families with the opportunity to preserve vital biological resources, Cryo-Cell collects and stores umbilical cord blood and tissue at the time of a child's birth. These stored cells can potentially be used in future medical treatments due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Cryo-Cell International stock Halal?
Is Cryo-Cell International Shariah compliant?
Healthcare rarely troubles the activity screen; treating illness is permissible work. For Cryo-Cell International, the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 verdict turns on the balance sheet instead: research is capital hungry, and interest bearing debt and investments must each stay below 30% of market capitalisation.
Does Cryo-Cell International pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Cryo-Cell International holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. Treating illness is permissible work; the scrutiny belongs to the financing behind it.
Is Cryo-Cell International's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Cryo-Cell International'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 100% tells holders of CCEL what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Cryo-Cell International 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 CCEL re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
