Is PT Ciputra Development (CTRA) 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. PT Ciputra Development Tbk (CTRA) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
PT Ciputra Development is a prominent energy company specializing in the exploration and production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids in the United States. Established through the merger of two major entities, Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation and Cimarex Energy Co., Coterra Energy aims to leverage their combined resources to enhance operational efficiencies and capitalize on energy market opportunities. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is PT Ciputra Development a Halal investment?
Is PT Ciputra Development Shariah compliant?
Extracting and selling oil, gas or materials is a permissible business, so companies like PT Ciputra Development 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 PT Ciputra Development pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: PT Ciputra Development currently fails the non-permissible income, 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 PT Ciputra Development's income Halal?
No. PT Ciputra Development's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does PT Ciputra Development 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 CTRA re-screened every month.
