HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is EXAS Halal?

Cancer diagnostics — Cologuard test saves lives.

What You Should Know

Exact Sciences makes cancer screening tests (including Cologuard for colorectal cancer). Life-saving diagnostics are generally permissible. Its December 31, 2025 Form 10-K reports $5,860.629 million of assets, $2,522.699 million of debt including operating leases, $955.996 million of cash, $8.715 million of marketable securities, $298.653 million of receivables and $3,246.990 million of annual revenue. Debt/assets is 43.04%, so the examined FTSE Yasaar, MSCI and Malaysia asset-ratio screens fail; a universal activity and non-compliant-income numerator remains unavailable.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Convertible-note and lease leverage
  • Debt/assets exceeds the examined 33% limits
  • Non-compliant income not separately disclosed
  • Diagnostic customer and end-use mix requires qualitative review

Business-activity disclosure

Exact Sciences develops cancer-screening tests, molecular diagnostics and laboratory services. Diagnostic healthcare is generally permissible, while product, customer and end-use allocation requires qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across customers, products and end uses.

Purification

Exact Sciences does not separately disclose a scholar-universal non-compliant income amount or a complete prohibited-activity numerator; no purification percentage is asserted.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Exact Sciences' December 31, 2025 Form 10-K.
  • Interest-bearing debt is $2,327.177 million of convertible notes plus $195.522 million of operating-lease liabilities; leases are included conservatively.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $955.996 million and the filing reports $8.715 million of short-term marketable securities; accounts receivable are $298.653 million.
  • Full-year revenue is $3,246.990 million. The filing does not separately isolate a scholar-universal non-compliant income amount.
  • Cancer diagnostics and laboratory services are generally permissible, but the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across customers, products and end uses.

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.
