PII
Polaris Inc.
Is PII Halal?
Powersports vehicle maker — a permissible manufacturing business, with debt and a finance JV to screen.
What You Should Know
Polaris Inc. designs and manufactures powersports vehicles including off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, motorcycles (Indian Motorcycle), and marine products. Manufacturing and selling recreational vehicles is a clearly permissible activity with no haram revenue line of its own. The main screening items are financial: Polaris carries debt and operates retail-finance and dealer-floorplan arrangements through joint ventures (such as Polaris Acceptance), so its total-debt-to-market-cap ratio should be confirmed against the 33% threshold and any interest-based income checked against the 5% threshold using the latest filings. Because the deciding factors are leverage and the finance JV rather than the core product, the verdict can move with the balance sheet.
⚠️ Concerns

- •Highly cyclical with consumer-discretionary demand — re-screen the ratios periodically
