Is Kopin (KOPN) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Kopin Corp. (KOPN) does not meet the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 threshold for the non-permissible income screen, 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.
Kopin specializes in the development and manufacturing of wearable technologies and display products. Primarily focused on microdisplays and related components, Kopin innovates within sectors such as consumer electronics, defense, industrial, and medical devices. The company's products are integral to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications, offering high-resolution, compact display solutions that enhance user experiences. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Kopin a Halal investment?
Is Kopin Shariah compliant?
Technology companies rarely fail AAOIFI screening on what they sell. Software, hardware and digital services are permissible business activities, so for a company like Kopin the Shariah question moves to the balance sheet: how much of its market value sits in interest bearing debt, how much of its cash earns Riba in conventional deposits, and whether incidental income from impermissible sources creeps past 5% of revenue. These are exactly the ratios AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 polices, and they move every month with the share price.
Does Kopin pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Kopin currently fails the non-permissible income 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 Kopin's income Halal?
No. Kopin's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Kopin 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 KOPN re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
