HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is SLGN Halal?

Rigid-packaging maker — a permissible manufacturing business, with a leveraged balance sheet to screen.

What You Should Know

Silgan Holdings Inc. manufactures rigid metal and plastic packaging, closures and dispensing systems. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $9,322.279 million, interest-bearing debt of $4,660.447 million, cash of $435.429 million and trade receivables of $1,158.680 million. Debt/assets is 49.99%, liquidity/assets is 4.67% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 17.10%; the debt screen fails. The filing does not provide a reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator, while indirect beverage end use remains qualitative.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 49.99%, above examined 33% limits
  • Some packaging may be sold to beverage customers that include alcohol producers; this is an indirect end-use question
  • No reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator is disclosed
  • Seasonal working capital and acquisition debt can move leverage
  • Re-screen the financial ratios periodically

Business-activity disclosure

Silgan manufactures rigid metal and plastic packaging, closures and dispensing systems for food, beverage, personal-care and household markets. Packaging is generally permissible, while indirect end use remains qualitative.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue by downstream end use or provide a universal prohibited-revenue or non-compliant-income numerator.

Purification

No reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator is disclosed; no fixed purification percentage is asserted.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are converted from USD thousands in Silgan's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q to USD millions.
  • Debt combines revolving loans and current long-term debt of $988.323 million and long-term debt of $3,672.124 million.
  • Cash is $435.429 million; no separate interest-bearing securities balance is identified.
  • Trade accounts receivable, net are $1,158.680 million.
  • The filing does not provide a reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator; packaging activity and indirect customer end use remain qualitative.

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.
