What the company does
Black Hills is a regulated electric and natural-gas utility in South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado and other states. Revenue comes from approved rates.
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
No prohibited activity
Interest-bearing debt / market cap

Interest-bearing debt $4.49B ÷ 36-month average market cap $4.44B = 101.2%

Fail
Cash & investments / market cap

Pass
Non-compliant income / total revenue

Interest income $6.80M ÷ annual revenue $2.31B (2025) = 0.3%

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: $5.85B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 3.4% 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.
