Is Curtiss-Wright (CW) 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. Curtiss-Wright Corp. (CW) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income screen as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Curtiss-Wright is a diversified, multinational conglomerate specializing in manufacturing and service solutions. Catering primarily to the aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial sectors, it provides high-technology and highly engineered products and services. The corporation's offerings include advanced control systems, electronics, valves, and performance materials, each engineered to support mission-critical applications. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Curtiss-Wright a Halal investment?
Is Curtiss-Wright Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Curtiss-Wright, 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 Curtiss-Wright pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Curtiss-Wright 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 Curtiss-Wright's income Halal?
No. Curtiss-Wright'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 Curtiss-Wright 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 CW re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
