Business-activity disclosure

Stryker develops and sells orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, neurovascular products and other medical technology. The life-preserving medical-device business is generally permissible, while customer, procedure and end-use allocation requires qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across customers, procedures and end uses.

Purification

Stryker discloses $34 million of interest income but does not provide a scholar-approved purification percentage or complete prohibited-activity numerator.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Stryker's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Interest-bearing debt is $14,723 million of current and noncurrent debt plus $511 million of operating-lease liabilities; leases are included conservatively.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $2,878 million, current available-for-sale debt securities are $87 million and accounts receivable are $3,571 million.
  • Quarterly revenue is $6,020 million and separately disclosed interest income is $34 million, or 0.56% of quarterly revenue.
  • Medical devices are generally permissible, but the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across customers, procedures and 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.
