Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.

DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is KDP Halal?

Core beverages are generally permissible, but debt/assets exceeds the examined asset-based limit.

What You Should Know

Keurig Dr Pepper's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports 35.15% interest-bearing debt/assets, 25.62% restricted-cash liquidity/assets and 3.33% receivables-plus-cash/assets. The JDE Peet's acquisition restricted 17,818 million of cash; interest income and partner-brand revenue are not separately disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 35.15%, above the examined 33.333% limit
  • Restricted cash is acquisition-specific and not freely available
  • Partner-brand and JDE Peet's product mix requires review
  • Interest income is not separately disclosed

Business-activity disclosure

Keurig Dr Pepper sells non-alcoholic refreshments, packaged coffee, brewers and partner beverages. Core categories are generally permissible, while partner-brand and post-acquisition product-level classification is not quantified into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible market-cap history or a school-specific partner-brand revenue taxonomy.

Purification

Interest income is not separately disclosed and product-level partner-brand exposure is not quantified; no fixed purification percentage is prescribed.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Keurig Dr Pepper's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt is short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term obligations of 4,816 plus long-term obligations of 20,891; leases are excluded.
  • Cash is 898; 17,818 of restricted cash is shown separately and is included only as a conservative liquidity proxy because it was legally segregated for the JDE Peet's acquisition.
  • Trade accounts receivable are 1,539 and quarterly net sales are 3,976.
  • No standalone interest-income or prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed in the examined 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.
