DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is BR Halal?

Broadridge's capital-markets technology is general-purpose, but March 2026 debt/assets is 36.75%, above the examined asset-based limits.

What You Should Know

Broadridge's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $8,779.2M of assets, $3,227M of debt, $304.8M of cash, $1,319.3M of receivables and $1,953.6M of quarterly revenue. Debt/assets is 36.75%, liquidity/assets 3.47%, receivables plus cash/assets 18.49% and disclosed interest income/revenue is 0.12%. Investor communications, post-trade processing and wealth-management technology are general-purpose services, but customer concentration and downstream use remain qualitative concerns.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 36.75%, above the examined FTSE Yasaar, MSCI and Malaysia SAC limits
  • Customers include banks, broker-dealers, asset managers and issuers
  • Post-trade and wealth platforms support conventional financial markets
  • The filing reports digital-asset gains and $2.3M of interest income; future screens should monitor both

Business-activity disclosure

Broadridge provides investor communications, proxy and regulatory reporting, post-trade processing and wealth-management technology. The products are general-purpose services, but the customer base and capital-markets workflows create a material methodology-dependent qualitative concern.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue into a universal prohibited-activity numerator across financial-services customers or downstream uses.

Purification

The filing discloses $2.3 million of interest income, but ZakatInvest does not assert a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage for the mixed financial-technology activity.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from the March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt is $499.8 million current portion plus $2,727.2 million long-term debt; cash is $304.8 million and accounts receivable is $1,319.3 million.
  • Quarterly revenue is $1,953.6 million and disclosed interest income is $2.3 million.

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.
