Is TerraVest (TVK) halal?
TerraVest (TSX: TVK) makes engineered storage tanks, vessels and processing equipment — a clean business with no haram segment, and no separately disclosed interest income. But interest-bearing debt of ~C$1,159.2 million including leases (~C$858.9M excluding leases) is about 48.4% of the ~C$2.40 billion market cap (35.8% excluding leases), above the ~33% ceiling. This screener is a FAIL on the debt gate.
The two-gate Shariah screen
Every screener on this site runs the same two gates: first, the business must be halal (no conventional insurance, banking, alcohol, gambling, weapons manufacturing, and the like); second, the financial ratios must clear (debt under roughly 33% of market cap, non-compliant income under roughly 5%).
Gate one: the business — passes
TerraVest Industries Inc., headquartered in Vegreville, Alberta, is a manufacturer of engineered storage tanks, vessels and processing equipment listed on the TSX (also on NEO and OTC). It reports four operating segments: Compressed Gas Storage and Distribution Equipment (engineered products for LPG, NGL, LNG, anhydrous ammonia, CO2 and crude oil storage, distribution and dispensing — bulk vessels, transport trailers, delivery units, dispensers; Q3 2026 sales C$190.5M, the largest segment), HVAC and Containment Equipment (furnaces, boilers, air conditioning, refined fuel tanks), Processing Equipment (wellhead processing tanks, desanding units, biogas, water treatment; Q3 C$19.5M), and Service (water management, environmental, heating, rentals, well services; Q3 C$69.0M). No alcohol, gambling, conventional banking/insurance, pork, adult content or weapons segments were found. The business gate passes.
Gate two: the ratios — debt fails
At June 30, 2026 (Q3 FY2026 interim financials, all CAD): long-term debt of C$858.921 million (including utilized revolving operating loans) + lease liabilities of C$300.278 million = ~C$1,159.2 million of interest-bearing debt including leases (~C$858.9M excluding leases). Cash was C$22.003M. With ~21.7 million shares outstanding at ~C$110.46 (September 29, 2026), the market cap is about C$2.40 billion — debt is about 48.4% of market cap including leases (35.8% excluding leases), above the ~33% ceiling either way, so it fails the debt gate. No interest income line is separately disclosed (Note 12 financing costs are expense-only: Q3 C$17.348M) — the non-compliant-income input is effectively zero, so that gate passes. Q3 2026 revenue was C$460.894M (+14% y/y); net debt to EBITDA was 3.7x including leases per Scotia (August 2026).

The bottom line
This screener gives TerraVest Industries Inc. (TSX: TVK) a FAIL. A clean industrial business, but debt at about 48.4% of market cap including leases (35.8% even excluding them) is well over the ~33% ceiling — funded by an acquisition spree (KBK Industries in January 2026, Colter Energy assets in May, B&R Repair and Jet Peinture in June, Superior Pressure Vessels agreed in July 2026) drawn through the credit facility. One item to watch: media allegations linking chairman Charles Pellerin to insider trading (no charges filed). Consult a qualified scholar. Snapshot dated September 29, 2026; re-checked quarterly after earnings.
