Is Sherritt International (S) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Sherritt International Corp. (S): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, fail. Interest-bearing debt, fail. Preference shares, pass. Sherritt International Corp. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Sherritt International is a prominent player in the natural resource sector, primarily focused on mining and refining metals. The company specializes in the extraction and processing of nickel and cobalt, which are critical components used in the production of batteries, especially for electric vehicles. Additionally, Sherritt is known for its joint venture operations in Cuba, where it is a leading producer of oil and gas, further diversifying its portfolio. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Sherritt International stock Halal?
Is Sherritt International Shariah compliant?
For a resources company like Sherritt International, AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 has little quarrel with the product; the scrutiny falls on the financing. Heavy machinery and long project cycles are usually funded with debt, and the standard tolerates interest bearing borrowing only below 30% of market capitalisation.
Does Sherritt International pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Sherritt International 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 Sherritt International's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Sherritt International's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Sherritt International 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 S re-screened every month.
