Is Cryoport (CYRX) 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. Cryoport, Inc. (CYRX) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Cryoport is a global provider specializing in temperature-controlled logistics solutions for the life sciences industry. Its primary function is to ensure safe and efficient transportation of temperature-sensitive materials, including biological samples, pharmaceuticals, and other life sciences products. Notable for its comprehensive solutions, Cryoport offers a range of services including cryogenic transportation, monitoring, and logistics management, which are vital for maintaining product integrity and regulatory compliance. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Cryoport a Halal investment?
Is Cryoport Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Cryoport, the product is rarely the problem; aircraft, vehicles and machinery are permissible. The exposure is leverage: fleets and factories are financed, and the 30% cap that AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 places on interest bearing debt is the screen that decides most verdicts in this sector.
Does Cryoport pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Cryoport currently fails the non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, 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 Cryoport's income Halal?
No. Cryoport's 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 Cryoport 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 CYRX re-screened every month.
