Is Shoulder Innovations (SI) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Shoulder Innovations, Inc. (SI) does not meet the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 threshold for the interest-bearing investments screen, so the stock is not currently classified as Shariah compliant. It is re-screened every month and can regain compliance if its financial structure changes.
Shoulder Innovations is a commercial-stage medical technology company exclusively focused on transforming the shoulder surgical care market through advanced implant systems for shoulder arthroplasty. Its portfolio encompasses anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) systems, complemented by ProVoyance preoperative planning software leveraging AI and machine learning for patient-specific 3D anatomical renderings, and a streamlined two-tray instrument system that enhances procedural efficiency across hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Shoulder Innovations a Halal investment?
Is Shoulder Innovations Shariah compliant?
Medicines and medical devices are permissible, and healthcare companies like Shoulder Innovations usually clear the activity screen comfortably. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 watches is the financing behind the pipeline: drug development is expensive, and the 30% interest bearing debt cap decides the verdict more often than the science does.
Does Shoulder Innovations pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Shoulder Innovations currently fails the interest-bearing investments screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. Treating illness is permissible work; the scrutiny belongs to the financing behind it.
Is Shoulder Innovations' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Shoulder Innovations' income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Shoulder Innovations meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed 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.
