Dexcom, Inc. · NASDAQ: DXCM · Healthcare
The short answer
Yes -- Dexcom, Inc. (DXCM) passes this Shariah stock screen on all three gates. Per its own FY2025 10-K, Dexcom is a medical device company whose core business is designing and commercializing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for diabetes and metabolic health -- the Dexcom G7 and G7 15 Day systems, the G6, Dexcom ONE+, and the Stelo over-the-counter glucose biosensor -- with no involvement in conventional banking or lending, insurance, alcohol, gambling, pork, tobacco, or weapons. Its separately disclosed interest and dividend income of $112.7M for FY2025 is about 2.42% of its $4,662.0M in total revenue, under the 5% non-compliant income ceiling. Its debt screen passes: $1,396.4M of senior convertible notes and lease obligations is about 4.21% of its ~$33.19B market cap ($86.23, latest close retrieved October 2, 2026), well below the ~33% ceiling. Both third-party screeners that cover it agree: Zoya describes DXCM as Shariah-compliant and Musaffa classifies it as halal (October 2026) -- honestly reported, not invented. Facts only, not a religious ruling.
