Is Immunocore (IMCR) stock Halal?
Immunocore Holdings Plc (IMCR) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the interest-bearing investments screen. Tabadulat re-screens IMCR monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Immunocore is a leading biotechnology company that specializes in the development of T cell receptor (TCR) therapies, holding a significant promise in treating various types of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. As an American Depository Receipt (ADR), it provides US investors an opportunity to invest in foreign stocks, specifically this innovative UK-based company, without the complexities of dealing with a foreign market. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Immunocore stock Halal?
Is Immunocore Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Immunocore is rarely about the product. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines is the money around the product: cash parked in instruments that earn Riba, borrowing measured against a market capitalisation that moves daily, and any incidental income from sources Islam prohibits, which must stay below 5% of revenue.
Does Immunocore pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Immunocore currently fails the interest-bearing investments screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.
Is Immunocore's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Immunocore's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Immunocore meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed 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.
