Is DaVita (DVA) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for DaVita, Inc. (DVA): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, fail. Preference shares, pass. DaVita, Inc. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
DaVita is a prominent player in the healthcare sector, specializing in kidney care services. As a leading provider of dialysis services in the United States, DaVita operates numerous dialysis centers and provides care for patients with chronic kidney failure and end-stage renal disease. The primary function of the company is to deliver life-sustaining dialysis treatments to improve quality of life and extend survival for those affected by kidney-related health issues. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is DaVita stock Halal?
Is DaVita Shariah compliant?
Healthcare rarely troubles the activity screen; treating illness is permissible work. For DaVita, 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 DaVita pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: DaVita currently fails the interest-bearing debt screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. Treating illness is permissible work; the scrutiny belongs to the financing behind it.
Is DaVita's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. DaVita's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does DaVita 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.
