What You Should Know

Keysight's April 30, 2026 filing reports 21.56% interest-bearing debt/assets, 21.99% identifiable liquidity/assets, 29.25% receivables-plus-cash/assets and 1.05% disclosed interest income/revenue. Its instruments are neutral enabling technology; aerospace, defense and government end use remains qualitative.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Aerospace, defense and government end use is not fully disaggregated
  • Neutral instruments have downstream uses not fully disclosed
  • Interest income was 18 million in the period

Business-activity disclosure

Keysight designs electronic test and measurement equipment and software for communications, industrial, aerospace and defense customers. The core activity is generally permissible, while end-use and government exposure requires qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not classify every customer, contract or end use under a Sharia standard.

Purification

Interest income is disclosed, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Keysight's April 30, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt includes current portion of long-term debt of 699 and long-term debt of 1,832.
  • Long-term investments of 169 are treated as identifiable interest-bearing securities for this record.
  • The filing reports 18 of interest income.
  • Revenue and customer end-use categories do not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

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.
