What the company does
General Motors is the largest US automaker: Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac and Buick; it makes EVs (Ultium) and scaled back the Cruise robotaxi project. Revenue comes from vehicle sales; GM Financial provides auto loans.
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
limit 30%
Interest-bearing debt $127.70B ÷ 36-month average market cap $56.60B = 225.6%
225.6%
Fail
Cash & investments / market cap
limit 30%
Cash + interest-bearing securities $24.72B ÷ 36-month average market cap $56.60B = 43.7%
43.7%
Fail
Non-compliant income / total revenue
limit 5%
Interest income $854.00M ÷ annual revenue $185.02B (2025) = 0.5%
0.5%
Pass
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: $73.90B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 30.5% 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.
