Manually identified reason
Automatic screening reads the industry label, not what's inside. This company's filings were checked by hand and a hidden prohibited activity was found:
Restaurants — alcohol is 8.9% of Chili's and 12.6% of Maggiano's sales (10-K FY2026) ≥ 5%; pork on the menu
What the company does
Brinker International owns the Chili's (about 1,600 restaurants) and Maggiano's Little Italy restaurant chains in the US. Revenue comes from restaurant sales.
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
Restaurants — alcohol is 8.9% of Chili's and 12.6% of Maggiano's sales (10-K FY2026) ≥ 5%; pork on the menu
