The Short Answer
ITT stock (ITT) is currently doubtful under the asset-based screens examined here. Its industrial manufacturing activities are generally permissible, but the post-SPX FLOW acquisition balance sheet has interest-bearing debt equal to 34.61% of total assets, above the 33%–33.333% limits used by the named methodologies. This is a reproducible screen, not a fatwa or a universal ruling for every school.

Debt is 34.61%, above the examined 33.333% asset-based limit. Liquidity is 5.40%, receivables plus cash/assets is 14.72% and disclosed interest income/revenue is 0.86%; those entered ratios pass, but the debt failure controls the financial result.

Business-activity disclosure
ITT manufactures engineered industrial components and systems through Flow Technologies, Motion Technologies and Connect & Control Technologies. Pumps, valves, braking and damping systems, connectors and controls are generally permissible industrial activities at the business-line level.
Limitation: ITT reports end-market revenue, including aerospace and defense, but does not provide a scholar-specific prohibited-revenue numerator or a universal look-through treatment for every customer end use.
Purification
Disclosed interest income is 0.86% of quarterly revenue. A universal prohibited-revenue numerator and scholar-approved purification percentage are not separately disclosed, so this record does not prescribe a fixed rate.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Inputs use ITT's April 4, 2026 Form 10-Q; amounts are USD millions.
- Interest-bearing debt is $3,852.3 million: $477.3 million of short-term borrowings and $3,375.0 million of non-current long-term debt. Operating and other liabilities are not silently added.
- Cash and cash equivalents are $600.8 million. The filing does not separately report a marketable interest-bearing securities portfolio, so no additional securities balance is entered.
- Receivables use the reported net receivables balance of $1,038.0 million.
- Quarterly revenue is $1,211.9 million and disclosed interest income is $10.4 million. The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for downstream end markets or customers.
- The filing says total assets increased primarily because of the SPX FLOW acquisition; this post-acquisition balance sheet is used for the screen.
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.
This calculation uses ITT's first-quarter 2026 Form 10-Q for the period ended April 4, 2026. The filing was submitted after the SPX FLOW acquisition and therefore replaces older leverage descriptions on this URL. ITT's quantitative result is kept separate from the qualitative review below.
Current Quantitative Screen (April 4, 2026)
- Debt / assets: 34.61% — above the examined FTSE Yasaar, MSCI total-assets and Malaysia SAC limits
- Cash / assets: 5.40% — $600.8 million of cash and cash equivalents; no separate securities balance is added
- Receivables + cash / assets: 14.72% — $1,038.0 million of net receivables plus cash
- Disclosed interest income / revenue: 0.86% — $10.4 million over $1,211.9 million of quarterly revenue
- Market-cap denominator methods: Not calculated because a licensed, reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored
Each examined asset-based methodology fails on debt even though the entered liquidity, receivables-plus-cash and interest-income ratios pass. A current screen should not be inferred from an older debt-to-market-cap description.
What ITT Does
ITT reports three operating segments that make engineered components and systems:
- Flow Technologies: pumps, valves and related aftermarket products for chemical, energy, mining and general industrial customers
- Motion Technologies: friction, braking, damping and shock-absorption products for automotive, rail and industrial markets
- Connect & Control Technologies: connectors, switches and specialized control components, including aerospace and defense applications
These are general-purpose manufacturing and engineering activities that are generally permissible at the business-line level. The filing does not provide a scholar-specific prohibited-revenue numerator for every customer or end use, so the activity and purification fields remain explicitly incomplete.
Qualitative Issues to Keep in View
Aerospace-and-defense exposure
ITT disclosed $195.1 million of aerospace-and-defense revenue in the quarter, approximately 16.10% of total revenue. The disclosure does not separate civilian aerospace components from restricted military end use. Investors who avoid defense exposure should apply their own look-through standard rather than treating the entire connector business as either wholly permissible or wholly prohibited.
SPX FLOW acquisition and leverage
The filing says the increase in total assets was due to the SPX FLOW acquisition. It also explains that higher debt and commercial-paper balances financed the transaction. That change is why the current debt/assets result is materially different from the older “manageable leverage” description.
Legacy asbestos liabilities
ITT carries historic asbestos-related legal-liability reserves from legacy operations. Reserve levels, indemnification arrangements and new legal developments should be checked when the page is refreshed; this is a liability and diligence issue rather than a claim that the company's core manufacturing is prohibited.
Interest income and purification
ITT reported $10.4 million of interest income, or 0.86% of quarterly revenue. ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed purification amount here because the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue allocation and scholars may apply different treatments.
How to Read the Result
The industrial business is generally permissible, but all three examined asset-based financial methodologies fail on debt/assets. A market-cap denominator could produce a different result, but it is not estimated without a licensed historical series. Investors should consult a qualified Sharia adviser for their school of jurisprudence and their preferred treatment of defense end markets, acquisition debt and purification.
Bottom Line
ITT is currently doubtful under the asset-based screen: debt/assets are 34.61%, while receivables plus cash/assets are 14.72% and disclosed interest income/revenue is 0.86% as of April 4, 2026. The core industrial-component activities remain generally permissible, but the current leverage result and qualitative end-market questions should be resolved before relying on a halal classification.
