Business-activity disclosure
Argan builds power plants and energy, industrial and telecommunications infrastructure through Gemma Power Systems, The Roberts Company and SMC Infrastructure. Construction and infrastructure services are generally permissible, while project end uses, government exposure, investments and contract structures require continuing qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue into a universal prohibited-activity numerator by project end use, customer, government contract, investment income or construction contract type.
Purification
Argan reports $8.374 million of other income primarily from invested funds, or 2.88% of quarterly revenue, but the filing does not provide a scholar-approved purification percentage or a complete prohibited-activity numerator.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are converted to USD millions from Argan's April 30, 2026 Form 10-Q, which reports dollars in thousands.
- No interest-bearing debt is reported; accounts payable, contract liabilities and operating obligations are not treated as funded debt.
- Cash and cash equivalents are $355.847 million. The $617.708 million investments balance is treated conservatively as identifiable interest-bearing securities because the filing reports accrued interest on investments and earnings on investments.
- Accounts receivable, net are $130.808 million; contract assets of $36.917 million are not added to the receivables input without a methodology-specific rule. Quarterly revenue is $290.954 million.
- Other income, net is $8.374 million and primarily reflects earnings on investments, cash and cash equivalents; it is used as a conservative upper-bound income proxy, not a purification prescription.
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.
