HALAL — METHODS DIFFERstock

Is MEDP Halal?

Clinical research and medical-device development services are generally permissible at the activity level, while Medpace's current filing shows no indebtedness, low disclosed interest income and a financially passing screen.

What You Should Know

Medpace's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $2,129.613 million of total assets, $652.681 million of cash, $394.581 million of accounts receivable and unbilled, $706.604 million of quarterly revenue, and $5.117 million of net interest income. Medpace states that it had no indebtedness. ZakatInvest's current contextual calculations are debt/assets 0.00%, liquidity 30.65%, receivables plus cash/assets 49.18%, and net interest income/revenue 0.72%. Clinical research and medical-device development services remain generally permissible at the activity level, but downstream client products and trial ethics require continuing review. This is a current ZakatInvest calculation, not an index-membership claim.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Disclosed net interest income is 0.72% of quarterly revenue; purification treatment remains methodology- and scholar-specific
  • Medpace's downstream pharmaceutical and biotech clients may develop products with alcohol-containing formulations, porcine-derived excipients or other product-specific issues that the filing does not allocate
  • Clinical-trial ethics, informed consent, participant safety, data integrity and access to therapies require continuing review
  • Biotech funding cycles, sponsor concentration and trial cancellations can affect bookings and revenue
  • Related-party service agreements with executive-connected biotech companies require governance and conflict-of-interest diligence
  • An April 6, 2026 securities class-action complaint concerning book-to-bill disclosures is unresolved and should be monitored
  • Market-cap denominator methods are not calculated without a licensed historical market-cap series

Business-activity disclosure

Medpace provides general-purpose clinical research-based drug and medical-device development services, including Phase I-IV trial design and management, regulatory affairs, clinical monitoring, data management, pharmacovigilance, laboratory and imaging services. These services are generally permissible at the activity level under standard Sharia screening.

Limitation: Medpace does not classify revenue by downstream pharmaceutical formulation, animal-derived excipient, alcohol carrier, client end use or other product-level details. No exact prohibited-revenue percentage can be proven from consolidated service reporting.

Purification

Disclosed net interest income is 0.72% of quarterly revenue. A screened downstream-client revenue numerator is not separately disclosed, so this record does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Inputs use Medpace's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q; amounts are USD millions converted from the filing's thousands presentation.
  • Medpace states that it had no indebtedness as of March 31, 2026. Operating lease liabilities are disclosed separately and are not silently treated as interest-bearing debt.
  • The filing does not report a separate interest-bearing securities portfolio; cash and cash equivalents of $652.681 million are not double-counted as securities.
  • Accounts receivable and unbilled, net of $394.581 million are used as the receivables proxy.
  • Quarterly revenue is $706.604 million and net interest income is $5.117 million. The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for downstream client products or end uses.

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.
