Is Endeavour Silver (EXK) stock Halal?

Endeavour Silver is a mid-tier precious metals mining company engaged primarily in the exploration, development, and production of silver. With its headquarters in Vancouver, Canada, the company focuses extensively on its mining operations in Mexico, a country historically rich in mineral resources. Endeavour Silver Corp.'s main activities revolve around three high-grade underground mines located in Durango and Guanajuato states, which are not only prolific silver-producing regions but also contribute significantly to the local economies. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Endeavour Silver a Halal investment?

Is Endeavour Silver Shariah compliant?

Yes. In the October 2026 screening Endeavour Silver (EXK) passes AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21: the business activity screen and every financial ratio screen hold. Extracting and selling oil, gas or materials is a permissible business, so companies like Endeavour Silver rarely stumble on the activity screen. The pressure point is capital structure: energy is a capital hungry industry that borrows heavily, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 caps interest bearing debt at 30% of market capitalisation, a line that moves as commodity cycles move the share price.

Does Endeavour Silver pass the business activity test?

Yes. In the October 2026 screening Endeavour Silver holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself, extracting and selling resources, raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.

Is Endeavour Silver's income Halal?

Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Endeavour Silver's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the October 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 100% tells holders of EXK what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity. On a dividend yield of around None, the purification amount is modest but real.

Does Endeavour Silver 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, measured against a market capitalisation of $2.54B (market data as of 1 October 2026). Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has EXK re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.

Why do other halal screeners show a different verdict for Endeavour Silver?

Screeners can disagree without either being wrong. AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, which Tabadulat applies, measures interest bearing debt and investments against market capitalisation with a 30% ceiling. MSCI and FTSE measure them against total assets with a 33% ceiling, and S&P and Dow Jones Islamic use a multi year average of market capitalisation. Data dates differ too, because each provider reads filings and prices on its own schedule. The same company can therefore pass one standard and fail another in the same month. Tabadulat publishes one answer, the AAOIFI result as of October 2026, and re-screens it every month.
