DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is FMC Halal?

Chemical and agricultural products — environmental concerns.

What You Should Know

FMC makes specialized chemicals and agricultural products. Environmental production concerns. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $9,419.5 million of assets, $4,533.6 million of interest-bearing debt, $390.9 million of cash, $20.6 million of reported investments, $2,244.8 million of trade receivables and $758.6 million of quarterly revenue. Debt/assets is 48.13%, liquidity/assets is 4.37% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 27.98%; the debt screen fails across the examined methodologies and gross interest income is not separately disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Chemical manufacturing
  • Environmental and product-stewardship impact
  • Debt/assets exceeds the examined limits
  • India business held for sale
  • Gross interest income is not separately disclosed

Not calculated
Overall
Fails

A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored; the debt failure remains independently documented.

Business-activity disclosure

FMC develops and sells insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, biologicals, crop nutrition and seed-treatment products. Agriculture is generally permissible, but chemical safety, environmental impact, product stewardship and product mix require qualitative review; financial leverage independently fails.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate every product and customer into a scholar-universal prohibited-activity numerator.

Purification

Gross interest income is not separately disclosed in the current filing; no purification percentage is invented. Debt failure is independent.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from FMC's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Total debt is $4,533.6 million, including short-term debt and current and long-term debt; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $390.9 million. The balance sheet reports $20.6 million of investments; the filing does not disaggregate the instruments, so the line is included conservatively.
  • Trade receivables, net are $2,244.8 million and first-quarter revenue is $758.6 million.
  • FMC sells crop-protection chemicals, biologicals, crop nutrition and seed-treatment products; product stewardship and environmental questions 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.
