IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. · NASDAQ: IDXX · Healthcare
The short answer
Yes — IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX) passes this Shariah stock screen. Its veterinary diagnostics business (VetLab instruments and consumables, rapid assay kits, reference labs, vet software, plus water and livestock testing) has no prohibited lines; its small human-diagnostics/outlicensing line is about 0.4% of revenue. Interest-bearing debt of ~$968.9M ($519.0M line of credit + $150.0M current + $299.9M long-term, Jun 30, 2026) is about 2.3% of its ~$41.68B market cap ($517.75/share, Oct 2, 2026) — far under the ~33% ceiling. Interest income of $3.01M (FY2025 10-K, disclosed line) is about 0.07% of $4,303.7M revenue — far under the 5% limit. Zoya independently rates IDXX Shariah-compliant (September 2026); no Musaffa or ShariaPortfolio rating was found — honestly reported as absent.
Gate 1 — Business activity: PASS
IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), headquartered in Westbrook, Maine, has three reportable segments per its FY2025 Form 10-K. The Companion Animal Group (CAG) — about $3,953.3M of FY2025's $4,303.7M revenue — provides veterinary diagnostic products and services: IDEXX VetLab analyzers and consumables, rapid assay kits, reference laboratory diagnostic and consulting services, and veterinary software, services and diagnostic imaging systems. Water ($201.1M) provides testing solutions for detecting microbiological parameters in water. Livestock, Poultry and Dairy (LPD) ($131.8M) provides diagnostic tests for livestock and poultry health and milk quality and safety. The Other line ($17.5M) combines its human medical diagnostic business with outlicensing arrangements. None of these lines are prohibited lines — no alcohol, gambling, pork, conventional banking/insurance, tobacco, cannabis, or adult entertainment. Gate 1 passes. Facts only.
Gate 2 — Debt and cash: PASS
At June 30, 2026 the Q2 2026 condensed balance sheet (reported in the August 4, 2026 earnings release) shows $519.0M drawn on the line of credit, $150.0M current portion of long-term debt, and $299.9M of long-term debt (net of current portion) — total interest-bearing debt of about $968.9M. Against a market cap of about $41.68B (Finnhub, $517.75 per share, October 2, 2026), debt ÷ market cap is about 2.3%, far below the ~33% ceiling. Cash and cash equivalents of $196.9M are about 0.5% of market cap, within the ~33% guideline. Gate 2 passes. Facts only.
Gate 3 — Non-compliant income: PASS
The FY2025 Form 10-K discloses interest income of $3.01M for the year ended December 31, 2025 (vs $12.7M in 2024, as money market investments declined), broken out in the segment-profit reconciliation and the MD&A. Against total revenue of $4,303.7M, interest income is about 0.07% of revenue — far below the 5% non-compliant income ceiling. (The quarterly income statements present only a single 'Non-operating income (expense), net' line; the 10-K's explicit interest-income disclosure is the primary basis for this gate.) Gate 3 passes. Facts only.
