NASDAQ Shariah screener · October 2026
Is Lumentum Holdings Inc. (LITE) Halal?
Lumentum Holdings Inc. · NASDAQ: LITE · Technology
The short answer
Yes — Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ: LITE) passes this Shariah stock screen. Its business — optical and photonic components, modules, and subsystems for cloud/AI datacenter and telecom networks, plus industrial lasers and 3D-sensing light sources — has no prohibited lines. Interest-bearing debt of $1.64B (convertible notes $1.54B + Japan term loans $92.8M) is about 1.75% of its ~$93.8B market cap (89.7M shares at the $1,045.78 quote of October 2, 2026), far below the ~33% ceiling. Interest and investment income of $60.2M is about 2.0% of FY2026 revenue ($3.01B), below the 5% non-compliant income limit. Zoya (Shariah-compliant, September 2026) and Musaffa (HALAL, October 2026) both cover the ticker; no ShariaPortfolio rating was found. This is a factual screen, not a religious ruling — consult a qualified scholar for personal guidance.
Gate 1 — Business activity: PASS
Lumentum Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LITE) is a global provider of optical and photonic products for cloud, AI/ML, telecommunications, consumer, and industrial end markets, operating as a single reportable segment (per the FY2026 10-K). Its Components products — semiconductor laser chips, laser sub-assemblies, line subsystems, and wavelength management systems — go into cloud datacenter and AI infrastructure links and network equipment; its Systems products — optical modules, optical circuit switches, and industrial lasers (short-pulse solid-state, kilowatt-class fiber, diode, and gas lasers) — include 3D-sensing light sources integrated into mobile-device cameras and lasers embedded in machine tools for precision manufacturing. None of the disclosed lines — optical networking, datacenter/AI interconnect, industrial lasers, 3D sensing — 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 27, 2026 the company's interest-bearing debt was $1,637.4M: convertible notes of $1,544.6M (carrying amount; recorded in current liabilities since all series were convertible in Q1 FY2027 as the stock traded above the 130% conversion triggers) plus $92.8M of Japan term loans ($52.3M short-term, $40.5M long-term), per the FY2026 10-K debt notes. Against a market cap of about $93.8B — 89.7M shares outstanding at August 14, 2026 times the $1,045.78 October 2, 2026 Finnhub quote — debt ÷ market cap is about 1.75%, far below the ~33% ceiling. Cash and cash equivalents ($2,043.5M) plus short-term investments ($694.9M) total about $2.74B, roughly 2.9% of market cap, within the ~33% guideline. The company also raised $2.0B via Series A convertible preferred stock, which sits in stockholders' equity, not debt. Gate 2 passes. Facts only.
Gate 3 — Non-compliant income: PASS
For fiscal year 2026 (ended June 27, 2026) the 10-K discloses interest and investment income of $60.2M as a combined line within other income, net — earned on money-market funds, treasuries, agency securities, investment-grade fixed-income, CDs, and commercial paper, per the MD&A. Against net revenue of $3,014.0M, that is about 2.0% of revenue, below the 5% non-compliant income limit. Note the headline GAAP net loss of $6.94B is driven by a one-off $7.76B non-cash loss on debt extinguishment — convertible notes converted as the stock soared — not by operations (operating income was $524.8M and operating cash flow $751.4M). Gate 3 passes. Facts only.
