How We Determine if NKE Is Halal

Our Shariah compliance screening confirms that Nike currently meets all Islamic investment criteria under AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions) standards. Here's how we evaluate NKE:

  1. Business Activity Screening: Nike is evaluated to ensure its primary revenue comes from halal (permissible) activities. Companies involved in alcohol, gambling, tobacco, conventional banking, adult entertainment, or weapons manufacturing are excluded.
  2. Financial Ratio Screening: The company's debt-to-market-cap ratio must be below 30%. Interest-bearing income and impure income must each remain below 5% of total revenue.
  3. Ongoing Monitoring: Nike is reviewed at minimum once per quarter. The most recent review was completed on January 3, 2026. If the company's operations, acquisitions, or financial structure change significantly, an immediate review is conducted.
