Is Neonode (NEON) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Neonode, Inc. (NEON) does not meet the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 threshold for the interest-bearing investments 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.
Neonode is a technology company specializing in the development of optical sensing solutions. Its primary focus lies in enhancing human-machine interfaces, enabling intuitive touch and gesture interactions across various devices. One of the key offerings of Neonode is its touch-sensing technology, which is implemented through infrared light to detect touch and gestural inputs without the need for physical sensors on device surfaces. This technology is pivotal in sectors such as automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial applications. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Neonode a Halal investment?
Is Neonode 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 Neonode 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 Neonode pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Neonode 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 Neonode's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Neonode's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Neonode 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.
