HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is AMCR Halal?

Global packaging maker — a permissible manufacturing business, with debt and indirect end-use to screen.

What You Should Know

Amcor plc produces flexible and rigid packaging for food, beverage, healthcare, personal-care and other products. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $37,582 million, interest-bearing debt of $15,853 million, cash of $1,587 million and trade receivables of $3,513 million. Debt/assets is 42.18%, liquidity/assets is 4.22% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 13.58%; the debt screen fails. Interest income is $17 million (0.29% of quarterly net sales), while the Berry combination and indirect beverage end use remain qualitative.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 42.18%, above examined 33% limits
  • Berry combination materially changed leverage and customer mix
  • Some packaging may be sold to beverage customers that include alcohol producers; this is an indirect end-use question
  • Interest income of $17 million is disclosed; no scholar-approved purification percentage is asserted
  • Re-screen the financial ratios periodically

Business-activity disclosure

Amcor manufactures flexible and rigid packaging for food, beverage, healthcare, personal-care and other products. Packaging is generally permissible, while indirect customer end use and the Berry combination require qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue by downstream end use or provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Purification

Interest income of $17 million (0.29% of quarterly net sales) is disclosed for transparency; no scholar-approved purification percentage is asserted.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Amcor's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt combines current long-term debt of $561 million, short-term debt of $92 million and long-term debt less current portion of $15,200 million.
  • Cash is $1,587 million; the filing does not identify a separate interest-bearing securities balance in the primary balance sheet.
  • Trade receivables, net are $3,513 million.
  • Interest income is $17 million (0.29% of quarterly net sales); the Berry combination materially changed the balance sheet and customer mix.

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.
