Is Semtech (SMTC) stock Halal?
Semtech Corp. (SMTC) is Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening, passing all four AAOIFI screens. Dividends are purified using a factor of 99.7%. Tabadulat re-screens SMTC monthly, and the status can change when new financial data arrives.
Semtech is a leading supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors dedicated to providing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. The company's products are essential components in various sectors, including telecommunications, industrial control, automotive, and consumer electronics. Semtech specializes in a diverse product portfolio that includes signal integrity solutions, power management products, and circuit protection components. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Semtech stock Halal?
Is Semtech Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Semtech is rarely about the product. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines is the money around the product: cash parked in instruments that earn Riba, borrowing measured against a market capitalisation that moves daily, and any incidental income from sources Islam prohibits, which must stay below 5% of revenue.
Does Semtech pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Semtech holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.
Is Semtech's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Semtech'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 99.7% tells holders of SMTC what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Semtech 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 SMTC re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
