DOUBTFUL — METHODS DIFFERstock

Is GTES Halal?

Industrial belts, hoses and fluid-power products are generally permissible; known asset-based ratios pass, but leverage is close to the boundary and the result is methodology-dependent.

What You Should Know

Gates makes power-transmission belts, fluid-power hoses and related components for industrial, automotive and mobility markets. Its March 28, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $7,115.0 million of assets, $2,228.5 million of tracked interest-bearing debt, $785.3 million of cash and $799.6 million of trade receivables. Debt/assets is 31.32%, liquidity/assets is 11.04% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 22.28%, below the examined limits. The filing reports $2.2 million of interest income, or 0.26% of quarterly net sales. Gates' planned July 2026 redomiciliation should be monitored, but it does not change this filing's ratios.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 31.32% ($2,228.5 million / $7,115.0 million), below but close to the examined limits
  • The filing reports $2.2 million of interest income, or 0.26% of quarterly sales
  • Automotive, industrial, personal-mobility and aftermarket end uses are broad
  • The planned redomiciliation changes future corporate filing context
  • Re-screen after a newer filing, redomiciliation or material debt change

Business-activity disclosure

Gates makes power-transmission belts, fluid-power hoses and related components for industrial, automotive and mobility markets. Industrial component manufacturing is generally permissible, while customer end uses and the planned redomiciliation remain qualitative context.

Limitation: The filing does not quantify a universal prohibited-activity numerator for all customer end uses or contracts.

Purification

Gates discloses $2.2 million of interest income, or 0.26% of quarterly net sales, but no scholar-approved fixed purification percentage is inferred.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Gates Industrial's March 28, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt combines $30.9 million of current debt and $2,197.6 million of long-term debt; lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $785.3 million; no separate interest-bearing securities balance is identified.
  • Trade accounts receivable, net are $799.6 million and quarterly net sales are $851.1 million.
  • The filing reports $2.2 million of interest income on bank deposits; the company's 2026 redomiciliation does not change this period's filing.

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.
