AMETEK, Inc. · NYSE: AME · Industrials

The short answer

AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) passes our Shariah screening. It manufactures electronic instruments and electromechanical devices — no banking, alcohol, gambling, tobacco, pork, or weapons business. Its total interest-bearing debt of $2,283.3 million is only 4.00% of its roughly $57.04 billion market cap, and its $5.5 million of interest income is just 0.07% of revenue, so it clears all three gates with wide margins.

Gate 1 — Business activity: PASS

AMETEK manufactures electronic instruments and electromechanical devices through two reportable segments: the Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) — process and analytical instrumentation plus aerospace and power products — and the Electromechanical Group (EMG) — engineered medical components and devices, automation and engineered solutions, thermal management systems, specialty metals and electrical interconnects. No core business in conventional banking/lending, insurance, alcohol, gambling, pork, tobacco, or weapons. Some instruments serve aerospace and defense markets as components and services, but the company is not a weapons manufacturer.

Gate 2 — Debt and cash: PASS

Total interest-bearing debt of $2,283.3M (short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt of $1,209.0M plus long-term debt of $1,074.3M, per the FY2025 10-K balance sheet) divided by market cap of $57.04B (228,977,202 shares outstanding × $249.09 latest Finnhub close) = 4.00%, far below the ~33% ceiling.

Gate 3 — Non-compliant income: PASS

Interest income of $5.5M (disclosed in the FY2025 10-K cash flow statement; the income statement shows no separate interest-income line and reports $81.3M of interest expense) divided by net sales of $7,401.1M = 0.07%, well under the 5% non-compliant-income ceiling. No other non-compliant revenue is disclosed.
