Is J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) stock Halal?
Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a Halal stock keeps non-permissible income below 5% of revenue and interest-bearing debt and investments each below 30% of market capitalisation. J.B.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services is a leading transportation and logistics company in North America. Its primary function is to provide safe and reliable freight shipping solutions across a variety of industries. The company operates through four principal business segments: Intermodal, Dedicated Contract Services (DCS), Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS), and Truckload (JBT). The Intermodal segment, a standout feature, seamlessly integrates rail and road transport to deliver cost-efficient and environmentally friendly freight solutions. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is J.B. Hunt Transport Services a Halal investment?
Is J.B. Hunt Transport Services Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like J.B. Hunt Transport Services, 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 J.B. Hunt Transport Services pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening J.B. Hunt Transport Services 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 J.B. Hunt Transport Services' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. J.B. Hunt Transport Services' 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 99.96% tells holders of JBHT what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does J.B. Hunt Transport Services 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 JBHT re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
