DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is DY Halal?

Telecom and utility infrastructure is permissible, but current debt and contract-asset ratios fail the examined financial screens.

What You Should Know

Dycom provides engineering, construction, and maintenance services for telecommunications and utility networks. Its May 2, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $6,180.400 million, interest-bearing debt of $2,815.714 million, cash of $538.826 million, and a contract-receivable proxy of $2,220.691 million. Debt/assets is 45.56%, liquidity/assets is 8.72%, and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 44.65%; the debt screen fails under FTSE, MSCI and Malaysia-style asset tests, and the MSCI-style receivables screen also fails. The filing reports net interest expense but no reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 45.56%, above the examined 33% limits
  • Receivables-plus-cash/assets is 44.65%, above the examined MSCI-style 33.33% limit
  • Contract assets and customer concentration require qualitative review
  • Building-systems acquisition and telecom capital-spending exposure
  • No reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator is disclosed; re-screen after the next filing

A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored; the asset-based debt and receivables screens already fail.

Business-activity disclosure

Dycom provides engineering, construction and maintenance services for telecommunications and utility networks, with a building-systems expansion. Infrastructure contracting is generally permissible, while customer end use, concentration and project obligations require qualitative review.

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

Purification

The filing reports net interest expense but no reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator; no fixed purification percentage is asserted.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Dycom's May 2, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt combines current debt of $6.000 million and long-term debt of $2,809.714 million.
  • Cash and equivalents are $538.826 million; restricted cash is not treated as an interest-bearing security.
  • The receivable proxy combines accounts receivable of $1,980.558 million and contract assets of $240.133 million.
  • The filing reports net interest expense but no reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator.

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.
