PASS

Illinois Tool Works Inc. · NYSE: ITW · Industrials

The short answer

Yes - Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) passes this Shariah stock screen on all three gates. The FY2025 10-K describes a diversified industrial manufacturer across seven segments (Automotive OEM, Food Equipment, Test & Measurement and Electronics, Welding, Polymers & Fluids, Construction Products, Specialty Products) with no disclosed alcohol, tobacco, gambling, conventional-finance, pork or weapons lines, so the business-activity gate passes. Interest-bearing debt of $8,969M (short-term debt $2,286M plus long-term debt $6,683M) is about 11.93% of its roughly $75.17B market cap ($260.84 on October 2, 2026; 288.2M shares), below the roughly 33% ceiling. Separately disclosed interest income of $40M (Note 5) is about 0.25% of $16,044M operating revenue, below the 5% ceiling. Zoya and Musaffa both rate ITW halal as of October 2026; no ShariaPortfolio rating was found - honestly reported as absent, not invented.
