Exelixis, Inc.

DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is EXEL Halal?

Oncology pharmaceuticals are generally permissible, but Exelixis's current marketable-securities liquidity ratio is above the examined asset-based Sharia limits.

What You Should Know

Exelixis's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $2,593.593 million of total assets, no reported interest-bearing debt, $226.152 million of cash, $1,200.199 million of marketable securities, $328.947 million of net trade receivables and $610.812 million of quarterly revenue. Those inputs produce debt/assets of 0.00%, liquidity of 55.00%, receivables plus cash/assets of 21.40% and disclosed interest income/revenue of 2.64%. The oncology-pharmaceutical business is generally permissible at the activity level, but the 55.00% liquidity ratio fails the examined FTSE Yasaar, MSCI and Malaysia asset-based limits. This is a current ZakatInvest calculation, not an index-membership claim.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Liquidity is 55.00% of total assets, above the examined 33% asset-based limits; the portfolio includes commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, municipal bonds, money-market funds and certificates of deposit
  • No interest-bearing debt is reported, but repurchases, acquisitions, clinical programs and marketable-securities deployment can materially change the screen
  • The filing reports $16.127 million of interest income, or 2.64% of revenue; no fixed scholar-approved purification rate is asserted
  • Cabozantinib products account for most current revenue, creating franchise concentration and patent-cycle risk
  • License, royalty and collaboration revenues involve Ipsen, Takeda, Genentech and other partners; contract-level terms and downstream use remain qualitative review topics
  • Clinical-trial outcomes, regulatory approvals, animal-derived research materials and product-access debates remain qualitative diligence topics
  • Market-cap denominator methods are not calculated without a licensed historical market-cap series

A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored, so these methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

Exelixis discovers, develops and commercializes medicines for difficult-to-treat cancers, including the cabozantinib franchise and pipeline assets. Pharmaceutical research, development and commercialization are generally permissible at the activity level.

Limitation: The filing provides product, collaboration and geographic revenue disclosures but does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator by indication, customer, ingredient or end use, so no unsupported haram-revenue percentage is estimated.

Purification

Disclosed interest income is 2.64% of quarterly revenue and below the examined 5% income threshold, but no fixed scholar-approved purification rate is asserted and business-revenue allocation remains incomplete.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Assets use Exelixis' consolidated total assets of $2,593.593 million at March 31, 2026.
  • No interest-bearing debt is reported on the condensed balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities and other non-current liabilities are not silently added as conventional debt.
  • Interest-bearing securities use current marketable securities of $551.055 million plus non-current marketable securities of $649.144 million. These securities include commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and government-sponsored enterprises, municipal bonds, money-market funds and certificates of deposit.
  • Receivables use $328.947 million of net trade receivables; inventory and other current assets are not silently added.
  • Quarterly revenue is $610.812 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The filing separately reports $16.127 million of interest income, or 2.64% of revenue.
  • The oncology-pharmaceutical activity is generally permissible, but the filing does not allocate a universal prohibited-revenue numerator by indication, customer or end use.

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.
