CAMT
Camtek Ltd.
Is CAMT Halal?
Inspection and metrology equipment for semiconductor manufacturing — a generally permissible technology business, but the latest filing-based screen fails its debt, liquidity and disclosed-interest-income tests.
What You Should Know
Camtek Ltd. designs and manufactures inspection and metrology systems used in semiconductor fabrication and advanced packaging. The activity is generally permissible, but its December 31, 2025 Form 20-F reports $519.833 million of convertible notes, $673.253 million of deposits and marketable securities, and $29.037 million of interest income on $496.072 million of revenue. On the filing-based total-assets calculations, debt is 41.26%, identifiable liquidity is 67.56%, and disclosed interest income is 5.85%; the quantitative result therefore fails the examined FTSE, MSCI and Malaysia asset screens. Customer end use and prohibited-revenue classification remain qualitative, and market-cap denominators are not calculated.
⚠️ Concerns
- •The latest filing-based debt/assets ratio is 41.26%, above the examined 33% limits
- •Deposits and marketable securities are 67.56% of assets, above the examined liquidity limits
- •Disclosed interest income is 5.85% of fiscal revenue; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage
- •AI, advanced-packaging, China and Asia-Pacific exposure are qualitative activity and concentration considerations

Business-activity disclosure
Camtek designs and sells inspection and metrology systems for semiconductor fabrication and advanced packaging, including applications supporting high-bandwidth memory and AI-related production. The general-purpose equipment activity is generally permissible, but the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for all customer end uses.
Limitation: The filing does not classify every customer, end use or application by a universal Sharia category; activity remains qualitative.
Purification
Camtek discloses $29.037 million of interest income for 2025, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Camtek's December 31, 2025 Form 20-F.
- Interest-bearing debt is the $519.833 million carrying value of convertible notes; operating liabilities are excluded.
- Cash and cash equivalents are $177.848 million. Interest-bearing securities include $411.450 million of short-term deposits, $78.862 million of current marketable securities and $182.941 million of non-current marketable securities.
- Net trade accounts receivable is $90.829 million and fiscal-year revenue is $496.072 million.
- The filing reports $29.037 million of interest income for 2025; no fixed purification percentage is prescribed.
- Camtek's inspection, metrology and advanced-packaging equipment is generally permissible, while customer end-use and geographic concentration 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.
