Frequently Asked Questions

Is BYD Company Limited (BYDDF) halal to invest in?
BYD Company Limited (BYDDF) is rated Not Halal under AAOIFI Standard 21 screening. It fails either the business activity screen (primary involvement in prohibited sectors such as conventional banking, alcohol, or gambling) or one of the quantitative financial ratio thresholds. Muslim investors should avoid or exit this position.
Why did BYD Company Limited get a F compliance rating?
BYD Company Limited (BYDDF) received a grade of F (Non-Compliant) based on three AAOIFI Standard 21 financial ratios: debt-to-market-cap of 29.5% (limit 30%); interest-bearing deposits close to the 30% limit; prohibited income well clear of the 5% limit. The grade reflects the margin of safety across all three ratios relative to their thresholds.
What could change BYD Company Limited's Shariah verdict?
BYD Company Limited's verdict is recalculated at every re-screen, including the one that follows each new quarterly or annual report. Three events could change it: (1) the debt-to-market-cap ratio crossing 30%, typically from new debt issuance or a major drop in share price; (2) interest-bearing deposits exceeding 30% of market cap; or (3) prohibited revenue (alcohol, gambling, conventional finance, etc.) exceeding 5% of total revenue. Verdict flips are tracked in the compliance history section above.
How often is BYD Company Limited re-screened for Shariah compliance?
BYD Company Limited (BYDDF) trades in the US as an ADR, so it is screened from the company's own financial statements in its home currency, currently those for fiscal year 2025, against its home-market market cap. It is re-screened about once a week. Last screened: Nov 10, 2026.
