Is BRP / DOO Halal?
BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) is the Valcourt, Quebec-based powersports giant — Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft, Can-Am on- and off-road vehicles, Quintrex boats, and Rotax engines. Recreational vehicles are a permissible business, but the debt load fails gate two.
The two-gate Shariah screen
Every screener on this site runs the same two gates: first, the business must be halal (no conventional insurance, banking, alcohol, gambling, and the like); second, the financial ratios must clear (debt under roughly 33% of market cap, non-compliant income under roughly 5%).
Gate one: the business — PASS
BRP designs and manufactures powersports vehicles — snowmobiles, watercraft, off-road vehicles, boats, and engines. Manufacturing is a permissible business activity, and no haram revenue segment is disclosed. Gate one: PASS.
Gate two: the ratios — FAIL
Debt-to-market-cap: ~44.8% (ceiling ~33%) — FAIL. BRP reported long-term debt (including current portion) of CA$2,499.5 million at July 31, 2026 — against a market cap of about CA$5.57 billion on September 28, 2026, debt is about 44.8% of market cap. Equity has shrunk to just CA$335.2 million after heavy buybacks, pushing debt-to-equity above 900%.
Non-compliant income: not separately disclosed — FAIL stands regardless. BRP does not break out interest income in its quarterly headlines; Q2 included a CA$72.6 million FX loss on U.S.-dollar long-term debt. The FAIL is driven entirely by the debt ratio. Gate two: FAIL.
What other screeners say
No verified current third-party rating was found for BRP on Zoya, Musaffa, or ShariaPortfolio as of September 2026. The FAIL rating here rests on this site's own screening methodology, not on a third-party endorsement.
The bottom line
This screener gives BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) a FAIL. Q2 fiscal 2027 (quarter ended July 31, 2026, reported September 3, 2026) posted revenues of CA$2,236.8 million (+18.5%), but a net loss of CA$136.8 million as U.S. Section 232 tariffs, a CA$74.8 million supplier financial-restructuring charge, and the FX loss on U.S.-dollar debt hit margins — gross margin fell to 11.7%. Management still raised full-year guidance (revenues CA$9.2–9.5 billion, net income CA$160–195 million) and generated CA$559.4 million of first-half free cash flow. Snapshot dated September 28, 2026; re-checked quarterly after earnings.
What would flip it: deleveraging. If the CA$2.5 billion debt pile shrinks toward the ~33% ceiling — CA$1.84 billion at today's market cap — the screener gets re-run. Compare with other high-debt names on the screeners hub.
Frequently asked questions
Is BRP stock halal?
This screener gives BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) a FAIL. Powersports manufacturing clears the business-activity screen, but the debt ratio fails: long-term debt of CA$2,499.5 million at July 31, 2026 against a market cap of about CA$5.57 billion — roughly 44.8% debt-to-market-cap, over the ~33% ceiling.
What are BRP's debt and market-cap figures?
BRP reported long-term debt (including current portion) of CA$2,499.5 million at July 31, 2026, with equity of just CA$335.2 million — a debt-to-equity ratio over 900%. Against a market cap of roughly CA$5.57 billion on September 28, 2026, debt-to-market-cap is about 44.8%, well over the ~33% AAOIFI ceiling.
Does BRP earn interest income?
BRP does not break out interest income in its quarterly headlines; Q2 fiscal 2027 included a CA$72.6 million foreign-exchange loss on U.S.-dollar long-term debt. This screener's FAIL rests on the debt ratio, which fails decisively, so the income screen does not change the verdict.
Do any third-party screeners agree with this screener?
No verified current third-party rating was found for BRP on Zoya, Musaffa, or ShariaPortfolio as of September 2026. The FAIL rating here rests on this site's own screening methodology, not on a third-party endorsement.
What could change BRP's halal screener?
Deleveraging — paying down the CA$2.5 billion debt load or growing equity value enough to clear the ~33% ceiling. BRP generated CA$559.4 million of free cash flow in the first half of fiscal 2027, so debt reduction is plausible if tariffs ease. This screener is a snapshot dated September 28, 2026 and is re-checked quarterly after earnings.
