Is TMX (X) 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. TMX Group Ltd. (X) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income screen as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
TMX is a leading Canadian financial services company known primarily for operating cash and derivative markets for multiple asset classes including equities, fixed income, and energy. It runs the core stock exchanges of Canada, such as the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, which are crucial platforms for capital formation and trade of publicly listed companies across various sectors. TMX Group enables efficient market access for investors and issuers, supporting trading, clearing, settlement, and depository services. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is TMX a Halal investment?
Is TMX Shariah compliant?
Finance is the sector where Shariah screening does the most work, because Riba is not incidental here, it can be the product itself. TMX passes the business activity screen only if its revenue comes from permissible services rather than lending at interest, and the financial screens of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 still apply in full.
Does TMX pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: TMX currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item in this sector is the sharpest of all: revenue must come from permissible services, not from lending at interest.
Is TMX's income Halal?
No. TMX'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 TMX 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 X re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
