HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is ACLS Halal?

Ion-implantation and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment — generally permissible activity, but current liquidity screen fails.

What You Should Know

Axcelis' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $1,374.544 million, finance-lease debt of $41.958 million, cash of $150.829 million, short- and long-term investments of $419.110 million, receivables of $161.814 million and quarterly revenue of $198.956 million. Debt/assets is 3.05%, liquidity/assets is 41.46%, receivables plus cash/assets is 22.75% and disclosed interest income is 2.24% of revenue. Liquidity screens fail; no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Liquidity/assets is 41.46%, above examined 33.333% limits
  • Large short- and long-term investment portfolio
  • Finance-lease obligations and capital intensity
  • Semiconductor, power-device and automotive customer end uses
  • Disclosed interest income is 2.24%; no fixed purification percentage asserted

Business-activity disclosure

Axcelis designs ion-implantation and other semiconductor-manufacturing equipment. The industrial technology activity is generally permissible, while customer products, jurisdictions and end uses are not reduced to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Limitation: The filing does not classify every customer, tool or end use by a universal Sharia category; activity remains qualitative.

Purification

Axcelis discloses $4.462 million of interest income, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Axcelis' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt includes current and non-current finance-lease liabilities totaling $41.958 million; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash is $150.829 million, short-term investments are $215.771 million and long-term investments are $203.339 million.
  • Net accounts receivable is $161.814 million and first-quarter revenue is $198.956 million.
  • The filing discloses $4.462 million of interest income, or 2.24% of quarterly revenue; no fixed purification percentage is prescribed.
  • Ion-implantation and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment is generally permissible, but customer and end-use revenue remains qualitative.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
