The Short Answer
Skyworks stock (SWKS) is qualitatively halal and its known financial ratios pass, but the overall result is incomplete. The April 3, 2026 filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Business-activity disclosure
Skyworks designs and sells RF and analog semiconductor products for mobile, connectivity, automotive and infrastructure markets. The general semiconductor activity is generally permissible, while customer and end-use revenue is not reduced to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
Limitation: The filing does not classify every customer end use by a universal Sharia category; activity remains qualitative.
Purification
Skyworks reports $10.8 million of other income, net, used as a conservative upper bound; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Skyworks' April 3, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Debt includes $499.9 million current and $496.7 million long-term debt; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash is $1,413.3 million and current plus noncurrent marketable securities are $23.1 million.
- Receivables are $336.0 million and second-quarter revenue is $943.7 million.
- Other income, net is $10.8 million and is used as a conservative upper bound because the filing says it primarily includes interest income but does not isolate the full gross amount.
- RF and analog semiconductors are generally permissible, while smartphone, automotive, infrastructure and other customer end uses remain qualitative.
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.
Designing and selling radio-frequency and analog semiconductors is generally permissible. Skyworks has low known debt ratios and reports other income, net as a conservative upper bound of 1.14% of quarterly revenue because the filing does not isolate the gross interest-income amount.
Sharia Screening Methodology
Islamic scholars use several criteria to screen stocks:
- Business activity screen: Is the company's primary business halal?
- Debt ratio: Total debt / market cap must be under 33%
- Interest income: Interest income / total revenue must be under 5%
- Haram revenue: Revenue from haram sources must be under 5%
- Receivables ratio: Total receivables / total assets must be under 49–70% (varies by board)
Skyworks's Business Activity
Skyworks designs radio-frequency (RF) and analog chips that connect wireless devices. Its products include:
- RF front-end modules: Amplifiers, filters, and switches for mobile
- Connectivity & IoT: Wireless components for connected devices
- Automotive & infrastructure: RF and analog solutions for broad markets
Designing and selling these semiconductors is permissible at the activity level — they are general-purpose connectivity technology.
Concerns to Be Aware Of
1. Interest Income on Cash
Skyworks holds a cash and investments balance that generates interest income. Verify the interest-income-to-revenue ratio against the 5% threshold and purify the corresponding portion of returns.
2. Debt Ratio
Skyworks typically operates with low leverage and a net-cash or near-net-cash position. Confirm the debt-to-market-cap ratio against the 33% threshold at the time of investment.
3. Customer Concentration
Skyworks derives a large share of revenue from a small number of major smartphone customers. This is a business and valuation consideration rather than a Sharia screen concern.
Filing-Based Ratios (April 3, 2026)
Based on Skyworks' Form 10-Q:
- Debt / Assets: 12.62%
- Cash + interest-bearing securities / Assets: 18.19%
- Receivables + cash / Assets: 22.15%
- Other income, net / Revenue: 1.14% conservative upper bound
Methodology Interpretation
The known FTSE, MSCI and Malaysia financial ratios pass. Activity and prohibited-revenue classification remain incomplete, and the income figure is a conservative upper bound rather than a fixed purification prescription. This is not a universal certification.
Bottom Line
Skyworks (SWKS) has a generally permissible semiconductor business and passes the known financial ratios in this filing, but the overall result remains incomplete because activity and prohibited-revenue classification are not universal quantitative measures. Investors should apply their chosen methodology and purification policy.
For Muslim investors seeking semiconductor exposure, SWKS sits alongside other halal-screened names like Qorvo (QRVO) and NVIDIA (NVDA).
