Is Energy Vault (NRGV) stock Halal?
Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. (NRGV) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the interest-bearing debt screen. Tabadulat re-screens NRGV monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Energy Vault is a key player in the renewable energy sector, specifically focusing on energy storage solutions. The company has developed innovative gravitational energy storage systems designed to store and release renewable energy on-demand. Energy Vault's primary objective is to enhance the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy systems by providing an effective method to store surplus energy for later use, thus reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Energy Vault stock Halal?
Is Energy Vault Shariah compliant?
In financial services the activity screen carries the verdict more often than anywhere else: AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 draws a hard line between fee based, permissible services and earning Riba as a business model. For Energy Vault, that distinction comes first, with the debt and investment ratios behind it.
Does Energy Vault pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Energy Vault currently fails the interest-bearing debt screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item in this sector is the sharpest of all: revenue must come from permissible services, not from lending at interest.
Is Energy Vault's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Energy Vault's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Energy Vault 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.
