Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (Wabtec)
Is WAB Halal?
Rail equipment, locomotives and transit infrastructure are generally permissible, and the current entered asset-based ratios pass; interest income and downstream end-use allocation remain incomplete.
What You Should Know
Wabtec's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $23,196 million of total assets, $6,538 million of interest-bearing debt, $531 million of cash and restricted cash, $2,252 million of accounts plus unbilled receivables and $2,950 million of quarterly revenue. ZakatInvest's current calculations are debt/assets 28.19%, liquidity 2.29% and receivables plus cash/assets 12.00%. The entered balance-sheet ratios pass the examined asset-based limits, but the filing reports net interest expense rather than standalone interest income and does not allocate downstream defense or military-mobility revenue. This is a current ZakatInvest calculation, not an index-membership claim.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Debt/assets of 28.19%, liquidity of 2.29% and receivables plus cash/assets of 12.00% pass the examined asset-based limits, but acquisitions and refinancing can change the ratios
- •Some rail equipment may serve defense-related rail or military-mobility applications; the filing does not quantify a separate military-revenue share
- •The filing reports $71 million of net interest expense and does not isolate interest income; purification remains methodology- and scholar-specific
- •Freight and transit customers include governments and international operators, creating contract, sanctions, safety and end-use diligence topics
- •Wabtec uses a four-four-five accounting quarter and has material acquisition, supply-chain and rail-traffic exposure
- •Market-cap denominator methods are not calculated without a licensed historical market-cap series

Business-activity disclosure
Wabtec manufactures locomotives, braking systems, freight and transit components, digital intelligence and related services for rail transportation. Rail equipment and transportation infrastructure are generally permissible activities at the business-line level.
Limitation: The filing does not provide a scholar-specific prohibited-revenue numerator for every freight, transit, defense, government or military-mobility customer and does not isolate standalone interest income.
Purification
The filing reports net interest expense but does not separately disclose interest income or a universal prohibited-revenue numerator. No fixed purification percentage is prescribed.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Inputs use Wabtec's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q; amounts are USD millions.
- Interest-bearing debt is $6,538 million: $1,830 million current portion and $4,708 million long-term debt.
- Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are reported at $531 million. No separate interest-bearing securities balance is entered.
- Receivables use accounts receivable of $1,784 million plus unbilled accounts receivable of $468 million.
- Quarterly revenue is $2,950 million. The filing reports net interest expense of $71 million and does not provide a standalone interest-income numerator.
- Wabtec uses a four-four-five accounting quarter; the filing period ended March 31, 2026.
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.
