Is HORMEL FOODS CORP /DE/ (HRL) stock halal?
Above the AAOIFI thresholds; 1 more lenient standard admits it.
This verdict follows the median view, that of AAOIFI Standard No. 21. It is based on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended 10/26/2025.
The ratios
| Criterion | Measure | Threshold | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 33.1% of market capitalization | 30% | threshold exceeded |
| Interest-bearing investments | 8.1% of market capitalization | 30% | within threshold |
| Impermissible income | 0.2% of revenue | 5% | within threshold |
Standard: AAOIFI, Standard No. 21.
Margin to threshold and trend
| Item | Ratio (fiscal year end) | Threshold (AAOIFI, Standard No. 21) | Margin | Change since year end | Estimated ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 33.1% | 30% | −3.1% | -0.1% | 33% |
| Interest-bearing investments | 8.1% | 30% | 21.9% | +23.4% | 10.1% |
Change read from the quarterly financial statements filed with the SEC (form 10-Q ended 07/26/2026, 3 quarters after fiscal year end), with the same reader on both dates. The estimated ratio applies this change to the annual ratio, with market capitalization unchanged: it is an estimate, not a verdict. "On watch" flags a permitted company whose estimated ratio reaches the threshold, or is within 5 points of the threshold and rising. This is neither a forecast nor advice.
The three views
- Median view, our reference : the company is excluded.
- Strictest view : the company is excluded, because it borrows or invests at interest.
- Most lenient view : the company is admitted (Albilad Capital).
