Ennis focuses on the design, production, and distribution of print media and related products, positioning itself as a critical player in the business forms sector. Known for its extensive range of products, Ennis manufactures and sells custom forms, stock forms, envelopes, labels, and promotional products. Through its printing services, the company supports various industries such as banking, education, and healthcare, offering solutions tailored to specific business needs. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Ennis stock Halal?
Is Ennis Shariah compliant?
Industrial businesses like Ennis usually pass the activity screen without drama. The harder test is financial: heavy assets mean heavy financing, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates interest bearing debt and investments only below 30% of market capitalisation, ratios that shift with every move in the share price.
Does Ennis pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Ennis holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Ennis' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Ennis' income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 99.63% tells holders of EBF what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Ennis 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 EBF re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
