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.
