Is Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS) Halal?

PASS

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. · NASDAQ: SWKS · Technology

The short answer

Skyworks Solutions passes all three Shariah gates: it develops RF semiconductors for connectivity markets (no interest-based business), carries about $496.9M of interest-bearing debt (3.97% of its ~$12.51 billion market cap), and interest income is not separately disclosed but is capped at about 0.66% of revenue even under the most conservative reading.

Gate 1 — Business activity: PASS

Gate 1 — business activity: PASS. Skyworks Solutions, Inc., per its SEC filings (FY2025 Form 10-K and Q3 FY2026 Form 10-Q), is a developer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal RF semiconductors — amplifiers, antenna tuners, attenuators, filters (SAW/TC-SAW/BAW), front-end modules, digital power isolators, wireless audio SoCs, and related components.

The company is not an interest-based lender and is not involved in tobacco, gambling, pork, alcohol, adult entertainment, or conventional banking or insurance. For transparency, its 10-Q lists 'aerospace' and 'defense' as end-market applications for its dual-use RF components — sold through distributors and direct sales, with no dedicated weapons segment and no quantified defense revenue disclosed. Most screeners evaluate primary activity rather than dual-use end markets, and Skyworks' primary business is commercial mobile, automotive, and IoT connectivity. Assessed on the filed numbers, with this exposure disclosed, the business passes gate 1.

Gate 2 — Debt and cash: PASS

Gate 2 — interest-bearing debt: PASS (3.97%, ceiling 33%). Per Skyworks Solutions' Q3 FY2026 Form 10-Q (quarterly period ended July 3, 2026), Debt on the balance sheet was $496.9 million — the 3.00% Senior Notes due 2031 ($500 million principal, $496.9 million carrying value). The 1.80% Senior Notes due 2026 ($500.0 million) were repaid at maturity during the quarter, and the $750 million revolving credit facility was undrawn. Operating lease liabilities ($147.9 million) are excluded — they are not interest-bearing debt.

$496.9 million of interest-bearing debt against a market capitalization of about $12.51 billion (Finnhub live price $83.16 on October 2, 2026 x 150,472,782 shares outstanding per the 10-Q cover; the $13.38B figure shown on some quote pages reflects older prices) is about 3.97%, far under the 33% ceiling. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $813.8 million at July 3, 2026, about 6.50% of market cap. Freshness note: Skyworks' pending Qorvo merger (announced October 2025; acquisition-related financing planned) will materially change debt and share count once closed — this screener should be re-run after closing.

Gate 3 — Non-compliant income: PASS

Gate 3 — non-compliant income: PASS (upper bound 0.66%, ceiling 5%). Skyworks Solutions does not separately disclose interest income as a line item. Its Q3 FY2026 10-Q MD&A states that the decline in 'Other income, net' ($6.2 million for the quarter ended July 3, 2026) was 'primarily due to a decrease in interest income generated from cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.'

A conservative upper bound treats all $6.2 million of 'Other income, net' as interest income: against net revenue of $934.8 million for the quarter, that is about 0.66% — under the 5% ceiling, and actual interest income is only a subset of that figure. For the nine months ended July 3, 2026, 'Other income, net' was $29.3 million, also described as driven by interest income from cash and securities. Interest expense was $5.9 million for the quarter. The upper-bound figure (0.66%) is used for this gate.

What do third-party Shariah screeners say about Skyworks Solutions?

Musaffa covers SWKS and rates it HALAL under its AAOIFI methodology, stating 'As of September 2026, Skyworks Solutions Inc is classified as halal.' Zoya publishes an SWKS page, but in a text fetch the page rendered contradictory template variants with blank date fields, so a firm dated Zoya rating could not be verified from public sources - I do not quote an unverifiable Zoya rating. I could not verify a ShariaPortfolio rating page for SWKS from public sources. Third-party screeners apply different assumptions and update on different schedules, and their results can change when new financial statements are published - always check the latest screening before investing.
