Business-activity disclosure
Broadcom supplies semiconductor solutions and infrastructure software, including networking, connectivity, storage and virtualization products. These activities are generally permissible.
Limitation: Broadcom does not classify revenue by defense, surveillance, gambling, weapons or other potentially sensitive downstream uses, and acquired software portfolios are not screened at contract level.
Purification
Other income, net is a conservative proxy and includes non-interest items; complete non-compliant income is not isolated. ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Broadcom's May 3, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Debt is the reported short-term and long-term debt carrying amount of $66,720 million.
- The filing reports $19,628 million of cash and cash equivalents and does not separately present an identifiable debt-securities balance; no securities amount is invented.
- Other income, net of $118 million includes interest income, investment gains or losses, foreign-currency remeasurement and miscellaneous items, so it is used as a conservative non-compliant-income proxy.
- The filing does not separately disclose prohibited-business or downstream end-use revenue.
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.
