AMBA
Ambarella, Inc.
Is AMBA Halal?
Edge-AI and computer-vision semiconductor business — generally permissible activity, but the current liquidity screen fails.
What You Should Know
Ambarella's April 30, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $794.838 million, no interest-bearing debt, cash of $114.443 million, marketable debt securities of $188.235 million, receivables of $39.175 million and quarterly revenue of $100.357 million. Debt/assets is 0.00%, liquidity/assets is 38.08%, receivables plus cash/assets is 19.33% and other income, net is a conservative upper bound of 2.08% of revenue. The liquidity screen fails; no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Liquidity/assets is 38.08%, above examined 33.333% limits
- •Large marketable-debt-securities portfolio
- •Security-camera and surveillance applications
- •Disclosed other income, net is a conservative upper bound of 2.08%; no fixed purification percentage asserted
- •Automotive autonomy and semiconductor cyclicality

Business-activity disclosure
Ambarella designs edge-AI and computer-vision system-on-chip processors for automotive, security, IoT and other vision applications. The semiconductor activity is generally permissible, while surveillance, customer and end-use revenue is not reduced to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
Limitation: The filing does not classify every camera, automotive or IoT end use by a universal Sharia category; activity remains qualitative.
Purification
Other income, net is used as a conservative upper bound of $2.083 million; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Ambarella's April 30, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- No interest-bearing debt is reported; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash is $114.443 million and marketable debt securities are $188.235 million across current and non-current balances.
- Net accounts receivable is $39.175 million and first-quarter revenue is $100.357 million.
- Other income, net is $2.083 million and is used as a conservative upper bound because the filing does not reduce every component to a standalone interest numerator.
- Edge-AI and computer-vision semiconductors are generally permissible, but surveillance and customer end uses remain 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.
