Is Turning Point Brands (TPB) stock Halal?

Turning Point Brands is a consumer products company that focuses on offering a wide range of tobacco products and related alternatives. Its primary function is to manufacture and distribute well-known brands such as Zig-Zag, Stoker's, and VaporBeast, which cater to diverse consumer preferences in the tobacco industry. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Turning Point Brands a Halal investment?

Is Turning Point Brands Shariah compliant?

No. In the October 2026 screening Turning Point Brands (TPB) does not pass AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income screen. Food, household goods and everyday retail are permissible activities, with one watch item: incidental revenue from alcohol, tobacco or conventional financial services must stay below the 5% ceiling of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21. For Turning Point Brands, that is usually the screen worth reading first.

Does Turning Point Brands pass the business activity test?

The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Turning Point Brands currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.

Is Turning Point Brands' income Halal?

No. Turning Point Brands' 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 Turning Point Brands 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, measured against a market capitalisation of $1.14B (market data as of 1 October 2026). Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has TPB re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.

Why do other halal screeners show a different verdict for Turning Point Brands?

Screeners can disagree without either being wrong. AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, which Tabadulat applies, measures interest bearing debt and investments against market capitalisation with a 30% ceiling. MSCI and FTSE measure them against total assets with a 33% ceiling, and S&P and Dow Jones Islamic use a multi year average of market capitalisation. Data dates differ too, because each provider reads filings and prices on its own schedule. The same company can therefore pass one standard and fail another in the same month. Tabadulat publishes one answer, the AAOIFI result as of October 2026, and re-screens it every month.

Tabadulat is an ADGM regulated brokerage whose license covers Shari'a Compliant Regulated Activities, as the FSRA permission names them. New to the terminology? Gharar and Maysir, Sukuk, Zakat and purification are all explained in plain English.
