Is NOV (NOV) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for NOV, Inc. (NOV): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 99.63%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
NOV is a leading provider of technology and services to the energy industry. Specializing in the design and manufacture of equipment used in oil and gas extraction and production, Nov plays a crucial role within the upstream sector of the energy market. The company's offerings include drilling and completion equipment, advanced control systems, and comprehensive supply chain management solutions, all aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and production capabilities. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is NOV stock Halal?
Is NOV Shariah compliant?
For a resources company like NOV, AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 has little quarrel with the product; the scrutiny falls on the financing. Heavy machinery and long project cycles are usually funded with debt, and the standard tolerates interest bearing borrowing only below 30% of market capitalisation.
Does NOV pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening NOV holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself, extracting and selling resources, raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is NOV's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. NOV's 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 99.63% tells holders of NOV what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does NOV 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 NOV re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
