PCG

PG&E Corp.

DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is PCG Halal?

Electric utility — permissible but extreme debt and bankruptcy history.

What You Should Know

PG&E's March 31, 2026 filing reports debt/assets of 43.99%, liquidity/assets of 1.51%, receivables plus cash/assets of 4.44% and disclosed interest income/revenue of 1.69%. PG&E provides electricity and natural gas in Northern California, but bankruptcy history, wildfire liabilities, securitization structures and high debt remain material concerns.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt screen fails at 43.99% of assets
  • Bankruptcy history
  • Wildfire liabilities and insurance structures
  • Restricted trust assets excluded from liquidity

A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

PG&E provides electric and natural-gas utility service, generally permissible in principle. The issuer's bankruptcy history, wildfire liabilities, securitization structures, regulated assets and financing require substantial qualitative review, and the filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-activity numerator.

Limitation: The filing does not quantify a scholar-specific prohibited-revenue numerator for utility, financing, wildfire, insurance or environmental activities; this record is not an official Sharia classification.

Purification

Disclosed interest income is 1.69% of quarterly revenue, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage and the business-activity numerator remains incomplete.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Interest-bearing debt combines 1,675 of short-term borrowings, 622 of current long-term debt and 60,146 of noncurrent long-term debt.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are 1,131. Unrestricted short-term investments are 1,016; self-insurance investments, customer-credit trusts and nuclear-decommissioning trusts are restricted and excluded.
  • Receivables combine 1,928 of customer accounts receivable, 1,436 of accrued unbilled revenue and 1,810 of other current receivables net of allowance; quarterly consolidated operating revenue is 6,881.
  • The filing reports 116 of consolidated interest income, or 1.69% of quarterly revenue. No school-specific prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.
  • Wildfire Fund assets, regulatory accounts and trust assets are not treated as unrestricted cash or interest-bearing securities.

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.
