Why this signal?
The factors behind the read, each shown with the figure it rests on, including the ones pointing the other way.
MGP INGREDIENTS INC (MGPI) is currently considered not halal (non-compliant), per In-house ratio engine (last assessed 2026-08-28). See the full ratio breakdown and business-activity screen below for the reasoning.
⚠️ Financial ratios are only half the screen, and this verdict does not rest on them. Our business-activity screen classifies MGP INGREDIENTS INC under alcohol, which is an excluded sector — so the verdict is non-compliant even though some ratios below pass. Business activity is a hard gate that ratio math never captures.

Research only, not investment advice. Thresholds are each standard-setter's published limits; a ratio marked “at least” is a floor, not a ceiling.
How close is it to flipping?
Every current reading against its own line, closest first. A verdict is only as durable as that distance.
The numbers the ratios are built from
Read from MGPI's own filings. Every percentage on this page is one of these lines divided by another, so the inputs are shown rather than asserted.

Two dates, not one: a balance-sheet line and an income-statement line cover different windows by design, so each figure carries its own.

Price Forecast
The range is measured volatility (ATR over the horizon), not a target — a wider band means a more volatile asset, not a stronger view. The direction is the indicator tally below. Every forecast is recorded when made and scored against the real price when it comes due, including the wrong ones. Not a recommendation, and not a fatwa.

Before you act on this
The questions worth asking about any verdict on this page, answered plainly.
Is this a fatwa?
No. HTR applies published screening standards to a company's own filings and shows the result under each one. It is research, not a religious ruling. For a ruling that applies to you, ask a qualified scholar.
Why can the standards disagree?
Because they measure different things. Some divide interest-bearing debt by market cap, others by total assets, and the thresholds differ too. The same filing can clear one line and cross another. HTR shows every verdict rather than averaging them into one label.
How often is this re-screened?
Ratios are recomputed when a new filing lands, and the whole watchlist is re-screened on a rolling basis. The date on the verdict above is the last time this symbol was actually recomputed, not the last time the page was built.
Do I need to purify dividends?
If a company earns some non-permissible income, many scholars hold that the same share of any dividend should be given away. The non-permissible income figure above is the number that calculation starts from — the purification calculator finishes it, showing the filing figures behind the ratio and both the proportional and the AAOIFI per-share convention.
Open research, not a fatwa. HTR applies published screening standards to filings and publishes what they say, including when they disagree. Nothing here is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell. Verdicts can change when new filings land.
Compare with
Same screen, different answers. Comparison is where the standards disagreeing becomes useful rather than confusing.
