Is ProPetro (PUMP) 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. ProPetro Holding Corp. (PUMP) does not meet the threshold for the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
ProPetro is a dynamic player in the energy sector, specializing in providing oilfield services crucial for the extraction and production of oil and natural gas. As a company based in the Permian Basin, a prolific area responsible for a significant volume of U.S. crude oil production, ProPetro’s operations are pivotal in facilitating efficient and effective hydraulic fracturing operations. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is ProPetro a Halal investment?
Is ProPetro Shariah compliant?
Extracting and selling oil, gas or materials is a permissible business, so companies like ProPetro rarely stumble on the activity screen. The pressure point is capital structure: energy is a capital hungry industry that borrows heavily, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 caps interest bearing debt at 30% of market capitalisation, a line that moves as commodity cycles move the share price.
Does ProPetro pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: ProPetro currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself, extracting and selling resources, raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is ProPetro's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. ProPetro's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does ProPetro meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each exceed the limit AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. The ratios move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, and our Shariah Supervisory Board has PUMP re-screened every month.
