Is PSEG Stock (PEG) Halal? Current Quantitative Sharia Screen

PSEG operates regulated electric, gas and nuclear assets; leverage is the main quantitative issue.

Time-sensitive screening snapshot: financial ratios and business mix can change after each filing. This is educational research, not a fatwa or investment advice. Verify the latest filing and your preferred Sharia standard before acting.

The Short Answer

PEG is doubtful under the current consolidated screen. Electricity, gas distribution and nuclear generation are generally permissible activities, but March 2026 debt/assets is 39.11%, above the examined asset-based limits.

Business-activity disclosure

PSEG owns a regulated electric and natural-gas utility and nuclear-generation assets. Electricity and utility services are generally permissible, but the capital structure is heavily debt-funded and methodology-specific utility treatment varies.

Limitation: The filing quantifies interest income but does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for utility activities.

Purification

The filing reports $10 million of interest income; ZakatInvest shows it as disclosed income but does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from the March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Long-term debt is $22,665 million in the filing's consolidated debt table; cash is $404 million and accounts receivable is $2,067 million.
  • Quarterly operating revenue is $3,848 million and interest income is $10 million.

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.

Business activity

PSEG owns PSE&G and PSEG Power. The filing reports $22,665 million of long-term debt against $57,945 million of assets. Interest income is disclosed, but purification is not assigned a fixed percentage here.

Bottom line

PEG is doubtful for the current screen because leverage fails the named asset tests. A school or board using a different denominator may reach a different result.
