PASS

O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. · NASDAQ: ORLY · Consumer Discretionary

The short answer

Yes — O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) passes this Shariah stock screen. The auto parts retailer (6,695 stores serving DIY and professional customers, founded 1957, Springfield, Missouri) has no prohibited business lines; its $7.01 billion of GAAP debt is about 10.1% of its roughly $69.62 billion market cap (October 2, 2026), well under the 33% ceiling; and interest income of $3.34 million is about 0.04% of first-half 2026 sales of $9.45 billion, far under the 5% non-compliant income ceiling. Zoya flags ORLY as Shariah-compliant (September 2026); it appears as Halal (rating 5) on Musaffa Academy's Nasdaq-100 halal list; no ShariaPortfolio coverage was found.

Gate 1 — Business activity: PASS

O'Reilly Automotive, Inc., founded in 1957 and headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, is one of the largest specialty retailers of automotive aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment, and accessories in the United States, serving both do-it-yourself and professional service provider markets under its dual market strategy. As of June 30, 2026 it operated 6,695 stores across 48 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada. The Q2 2026 release disaggregates revenue by customer type — $4.53B DIY and $4.76B professional in the first half of 2026 — and no other business segments. None of the disclosed 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 company's GAAP (interest-bearing) debt was $7.0145B of long-term debt — senior notes and commercial paper, with no separate short-term debt line — per the Q2 2026 earnings release. Against a market cap of about $69.62B (Finnhub, $85.03 per share on October 2, 2026; 816,165,813 shares outstanding at June 30, 2026), debt ÷ market cap is about 10.08%, well below the ~33% ceiling. Cash and cash equivalents of $262.18M are about 0.38% of market cap, within the ~33% guideline. Note: the company deliberately carries this leverage to fund its long-running share repurchase program ($2.43B of buybacks in H1 2026; $30.42B since 2011). Gate 2 passes. Facts only.

Gate 3 — Non-compliant income: PASS

Interest income was $3.337M for the six months ended June 30, 2026 ($1.589M in Q2), per the Q2 2026 condensed income statements, against sales of $9.452552B — about 0.04% of revenue, far below the 5% non-compliant income limit. Full-year 2025 tells the same story: interest income of $7.323M against sales of $17.781992B, about 0.04%. Gate 3 passes. Facts only.

Why does O'Reilly Automotive pass this Shariah stock screen?

O'Reilly Automotive passes all three gates of this screen. Its business — retailing auto parts, tools, supplies, and accessories to DIY and professional customers — has no prohibited lines (no alcohol, gambling, pork, conventional banking or insurance, tobacco, cannabis, or adult entertainment). Its debt of $7.01 billion is about 10.1% of its roughly $69.62 billion market capitalization, well under the 33% ceiling. And its interest income of $3.34 million is about 0.04% of first-half 2026 sales of $9.45 billion, far under the 5% non-compliant income ceiling. This is a factual screen, not a religious ruling — consult a qualified scholar for personal guidance.

What is O'Reilly Automotive's interest-bearing debt ratio?

At June 30, 2026, O'Reilly's GAAP (interest-bearing) debt was $7.0145 billion — long-term debt consisting of senior notes and commercial paper, with no separate short-term debt line on the balance sheet — per the company's second-quarter 2026 earnings release. Against a market capitalization of about $69.62 billion (Finnhub, $85.03 per share on October 2, 2026; the company had 816,165,813 shares outstanding at June 30, 2026), debt divided by market cap is about 10.08%, comfortably below the 33% ceiling.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, O'Reilly reported interest income of $3.337 million against sales of $9.452552 billion — about 0.04% of revenue, far below the 5% non-compliant income limit (the second quarter alone: $1.589 million of interest income).

The income gate passes on both the latest half-year and the last full fiscal year.

Do Zoya, Musaffa, or ShariaPortfolio cover O'Reilly Automotive?

Zoya covers ORLY: its page flags the stock as Shariah-compliant as of September 2026, based on the company's latest financial reports (it cites fiscal 2025 revenue of $17.78 billion and interest income of $7.32 million, about 0.04%). Musaffa's academy lists ORLY as Halal with a rating of 5 on its Nasdaq-100 halal stocks list; no dedicated musaffa.com stock page for ORLY was found in a web search, so that is reported as list-level coverage only. No ShariaPortfolio coverage of ORLY was found — reported as absent, not invented.
