Is Universal Music Group N.V. stock halal?
Financial statements below the thresholds, but the company's activity remains to be verified.
This verdict follows the median view, that of AAOIFI Standard No. 21. It is based on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended 12/31/2025.
The ratios
| Criterion | Measure | Threshold | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 16.3% of total assets | 30% | within threshold |
| Interest-bearing investments | 2.8% of total assets | 30% | within threshold |
| Impermissible income | not published | 5% | to be verified |
Standard: Total assets, 30% threshold.
The three views
- Median view, our reference : the company is admitted, provided the gains are purified.
- Strictest view : the company is excluded, because it borrows or invests at interest.
- Most lenient view : the company is admitted (Total assets, one-third threshold).
