What the company does
Axos Financial is a branchless online bank offering mortgages, commercial loans and broker-dealer services. Revenue comes from loan interest.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
Business activity
Prohibited activity: Banks - Regional
Interest-bearing debt / market cap
limit 30%
Interest-bearing debt $1.07B ÷ 36-month average market cap $4.10B = 26.2%

Pass
Cash & investments / market cap
limit 30%
Cash + interest-bearing securities $1.16B ÷ 36-month average market cap $4.10B = 28.4%
28.4%
Pass
Non-compliant income / total revenue
limit 5%
Interest income $1.96B ÷ annual revenue $1.46B (2026) = 133.8%
133.8%
Fail
Figures from the company's filings (2026-06-30), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $4.99B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 5.0% of total assets (2026-06-30). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
