Is Verisk Analytics (VRSK) 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. Verisk Analytics, Inc. (VRSK) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income screen as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Verisk Analytics is a prominent data analytics and risk assessment company that provides critical information and insights to clients across various industries. Its primary function is to offer advanced data analytics solutions that help businesses enhance their decision-making processes and improve risk management strategies. Verisk serves sectors such as insurance, energy, financial services, and natural resources, offering specialized data and analytical tools that assist in operational efficiency and strategic planning. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Verisk Analytics a Halal investment?
Is Verisk Analytics Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Verisk Analytics, 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 Verisk Analytics pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Verisk Analytics currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Verisk Analytics' income Halal?
No. Verisk Analytics' 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 Verisk Analytics 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 VRSK re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
