Is Ranpak (PACK) stock Halal?
Ranpak Holdings Corp. (PACK) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing debt screens. Tabadulat re-screens PACK monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Ranpak specializes in providing innovative sustainable packaging solutions. Its primary function is to supply paper-based protective packaging solutions designed to reduce environmental impact while ensuring product safety during transit. Ranpak caters to a wide range of industries including e-commerce, industrial manufacturing, and food & beverage, helping businesses transition towards more eco-friendly packaging options. By emphasizing recyclability and renewable materials, Ranpak addresses the increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions in today's market. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Ranpak stock Halal?
Is Ranpak Shariah compliant?
Industrial businesses like Ranpak usually pass the activity screen without drama. The harder test is financial: heavy assets mean heavy financing, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates interest bearing debt and investments only below 30% of market capitalisation, ratios that shift with every move in the share price.
Does Ranpak pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Ranpak currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Ranpak's income Halal?
No. Ranpak'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 Ranpak meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing debt currently exceeds 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.
