A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored, so these methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

Veralto operates Water Quality and Product Quality & Innovation segments. Its products monitor and improve water quality, water treatment, packaging, coding, color and product traceability; these are generally permissible industrial and environmental technologies.

Limitation: The filing reports segment sales but does not quantify every customer, product application, packaging category, marketing activity or end use into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Purification

Veralto reports $24 million of net interest expense but does not separately disclose gross interest income or prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage. No fixed purification estimate is made here; readers should follow the scholar or methodology they use.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Debt uses $2.662 billion of total debt, including $700 million current debt and $1.962 billion long-term debt at April 3, 2026. No amounts were outstanding under the credit facility or commercial-paper program; operating lease liabilities are not entered as conventional debt.
  • Cash uses $1.431 billion of cash and cash equivalents. The filing says these balances were on deposit with financial institutions or invested in highly liquid investment-grade debt instruments maturing within 90 days; those instruments are not added again as separate securities.
  • Receivables use $922 million of trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses. Revenue uses $1.422 billion of first-quarter sales.
  • Veralto reports net interest expense of $24 million but does not separately disclose gross interest income in the quarter. The income screen is therefore unavailable rather than estimated from net expense.
  • Veralto provides water-quality, water-treatment, marking, coding, packaging and color solutions. The filing does not quantify every customer, product or end use into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

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.
