Is Lowe's Companies (LOW) 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. Lowe's Companies, Inc. (LOW) passes all four screens as of September 2026, with a dividend purification factor of 99.96%.
Lowe's Companies is a prominent player in the retail industry, specializing in home improvement products and services. The company's offerings encompass a wide range of categories, such as building materials, appliances, tools, hardware, lighting, and seasonal goods. Additionally, Lowe's provides installation services and extended protection plans, enhancing its value proposition to consumers. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Lowe's Companies a Halal investment?
Is Lowe's Companies Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Lowe's Companies, 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 Lowe's Companies pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Lowe's Companies 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 Lowe's Companies' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Lowe's Companies' 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 LOW what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Lowe's Companies 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 LOW re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
