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:
Insurance marketplace (EverQuote — the whole business is insurance lead-gen)
What the company does
EverQuote is an online insurance marketplace: users request auto/home insurance quotes and insurers pay for those leads. Its money comes from lead fees paid by insurance companies.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
