Is Globus Maritime (GLBS) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Globus Maritime Ltd. (GLBS) does not meet the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 threshold for the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the stock is not currently classified as Shariah compliant. It is re-screened every month and can regain compliance if its financial structure changes.
Globus Maritime is a shipping company engaged in the transportation of dry bulk cargoes across worldwide shipping routes. The firm's primary purpose is to facilitate the global movement of bulk raw materials such as coal, grain, and iron ore, essential for various industries. Globus Maritime operates a fleet of modern vessels designed to ensure efficient and reliable delivery schedules. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Globus Maritime a Halal investment?
Is Globus Maritime Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Globus Maritime, 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 Globus Maritime pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Globus Maritime currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Globus Maritime's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Globus Maritime's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Globus Maritime meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each exceed the limit AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. The ratios move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, and our Shariah Supervisory Board has GLBS re-screened every month.
