Is Franklin Electric (FELE) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (FELE) meets every AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 requirement: non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt all sit within the thresholds, and there is no impermissible preference share structure. The dividend purification factor is 100%. The stock is re-screened every month.
Franklin Electric is a leading manufacturer and distributor of systems and components for the movement and management of water and fuel. Specializing in submersible motors, pumps, and control systems, Franklin Electric serves a variety of sectors, including residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial markets. The company's expertise in water well and pressure pumping systems is complemented by its fuel pumping and containment system solutions, which are critical for businesses in the automotive service and fuel dispensing industries. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Franklin Electric a Halal investment?
Is Franklin Electric Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Franklin Electric, 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 Franklin Electric pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Franklin Electric 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 Franklin Electric's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Franklin Electric's 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 100% tells holders of FELE what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Franklin Electric 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 FELE re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
