Is NETGEAR (NTGR) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for NETGEAR, Inc. (NTGR): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, fail. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. NETGEAR, Inc. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
NETGEAR is a global provider of networking products that power connectivity in homes, businesses, and service providers worldwide. Specializing in a diverse range of technological solutions, Netgear offers innovative networking hardware and software products that enhance internet access and connectivity. This includes WiFi routers, mesh systems, smart home security cameras, and network switches designed to support the increasing demand for seamless digital experiences. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is NETGEAR stock Halal?
Is NETGEAR Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like NETGEAR 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 NETGEAR pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: NETGEAR 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 NETGEAR's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. NETGEAR's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does NETGEAR 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.
