Is PepsiCo, Inc. PEP stock Halal to invest in?

Yes, as of September 2026, PepsiCo, Inc. stock (PEP) is classified as a Shariah compliant stock. This verdict follows the screening methodology of AAOIFI (the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions), whose Shariah Standard No. 21 is the leading global benchmark for screening Halal stocks. PepsiCo, Inc. currently passes all four AAOIFI financial screens: non-permissible income remains below 5% of total revenue, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt each remain below 30% of market capitalisation, and the company has no impermissible preference share structure. The stock's current purification factor is 99.9%. Compliance is reassessed every month as updated screening data arrives, and a stock's status can change when new financial reports are released. You can always check the current status of PepsiCo, Inc. and explore other Shariah compliant stocks in the Tabadulat app.

How often is PepsiCo, Inc. PEP reviewed for Shariah compliance?

Tabadulat reviews PepsiCo, Inc. PEP for Shariah compliance every month. Each review applies the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 methodology, screening the company's business activities, non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments, interest-bearing debt, and preference shares, against the company's latest available financial data. The process operates under the direct supervision of Tabadulat's dedicated Shariah Supervisory Board of Islamic finance scholars. Because compliance depends on financial ratios that move with market capitalisation and reported results, a stock's status can change from one review to the next. Monthly screening ensures the status shown for PepsiCo, Inc. reflects current financial data rather than an outdated assessment, and Tabadulat app users are notified if a holding in their portfolio becomes non-compliant.

Does PepsiCo, Inc. PEP pass the AAOIFI Non Permissible Income criteria?

Yes, as of September 2026, PepsiCo, Inc. stock (PEP) passes the AAOIFI non-permissible income screen. In practice this screen asks a simple question: how much of the company's revenue comes from sources Islam prohibits, such as Riba, conventional financial services, alcohol, gambling or tobacco? AAOIFI allows at most 5%, and PepsiCo, Inc. stays below that line this month. Even permissible levels of incidental impure income should still be purified: investors donate the corresponding share of dividends to charity, as reflected in the stock's purification factor. This screen is reassessed monthly using the company's latest financial disclosures.

Does PepsiCo, Inc. PEP pass the AAOIFI Interest Bearing Investments criteria?

Yes, as of September 2026, PepsiCo, Inc. stock (PEP) passes the AAOIFI interest-bearing investments screen. This screen looks at where the company parks its cash: conventional deposits, bonds, treasury bills and money-market funds all earn Riba, so AAOIFI caps them at 30% of market capitalisation. PepsiCo, Inc. stays inside that cap in the latest screening. Because the ratio is measured against market capitalisation, it can move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, which is why Tabadulat rescreens the stock every month.

Does PepsiCo, Inc. PEP pass the AAOIFI Interest Bearing Debt criteria?

Yes, as of September 2026, PepsiCo, Inc. stock (PEP) passes the AAOIFI interest-bearing debt screen. Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a company's borrowings that accrue interest (conventional bank loans, bonds and similar Riba-based financing) must remain below 30% of its market capitalisation. This cap limits shareholders' exposure to interest-based leverage. PepsiCo, Inc.'s interest-bearing debt is currently within the 30% threshold. Because market capitalisation changes daily, a company's debt ratio can drift toward or away from the limit even without new borrowing, which is why this screen is reassessed every month.

What is the dividend purification factor for PepsiCo, Inc. PEP stock?

The dividend purification factor for PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) stands at 99.9% in the September 2026 screening. In plain terms, 99.9% of a PEP dividend is retained, and the remainder reflects incidental non-permissible income, typically interest on corporate cash, which Halal investors donate to charity (Tazkiyah). AAOIFI methodology asks for purification even on fully compliant stocks. The factor is recalculated with each monthly screening as new financial data arrives, and the Tabadulat app can help you calculate and track purification across your whole portfolio.

Does PepsiCo, Inc. PEP pass the AAOIFI Preference Share screen?

Yes, as of September 2026, PepsiCo, Inc. stock (PEP) passes the AAOIFI preference share screen. AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 prohibits investing in preference shares because they grant holders guaranteed or priority rights to dividends and capital ahead of ordinary shareholders, a structure that conflicts with the Shariah principle that investors should share profit and loss in proportion to their ownership. PepsiCo, Inc. has no impermissible preference share structure affecting its ordinary shares, so the stock is compliant on this criterion. Like all AAOIFI screens, this is verified in each monthly review.

September 2026: PASS

PepsiCo is a global food and beverage leader known for its diverse portfolio of iconic brands. With its roots in the beverage industry, PepsiCo's primary function centers around manufacturing and distributing a vast range of soft drinks, including the renowned Pepsi cola. Beyond beverages, the company significantly impacts the food sector, offering well-known snacks through its Frito-Lay division, with products like Lay’s, Doritos, and Cheetos. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is PepsiCo stock Halal?

Is PepsiCo Shariah compliant?

Consumer staples companies like PepsiCo face the screening question at the shelf, not the balance sheet: does any revenue come from alcohol, tobacco or other impermissible lines? AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates such income only below 5% of revenue, with the financial ratios checked behind it.

Does PepsiCo pass the business activity test?

Yes. In the September 2026 screening PepsiCo holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.

Is PepsiCo's income Halal?

Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. PepsiCo'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 99.9% tells holders of PEP what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.

Does PepsiCo 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 PEP re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
