Is Ulta Beauty (ULTA) 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. Ulta Beauty, Inc. (ULTA) passes all four screens as of September 2026, with a dividend purification factor of 99.98%.
Ulta Beauty is a premier beauty retailer in the United States, renowned for offering a comprehensive selection of beauty products and salon services. As the largest beauty retailer in the country, Ulta Beauty presents a diverse product range that includes cosmetics, fragrances, skin care, and hair care products, catering to a wide demographic of customers. The company ingeniously combines retail beauty with online and in-store experiences, featuring both mass-market goods and prestige brands. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Ulta Beauty a Halal investment?
Is Ulta Beauty Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Ulta Beauty, the product is rarely the problem; aircraft, vehicles and machinery are permissible. The exposure is leverage: fleets and factories are financed, and the 30% cap that AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 places on interest bearing debt is the screen that decides most verdicts in this sector.
Does Ulta Beauty pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Ulta Beauty holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Ulta Beauty's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Ulta Beauty'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 99.98% tells holders of ULTA what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Ulta Beauty 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 ULTA re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
