What the company does
Honda (Japan) makes cars (Civic, CR-V, Accord) and is the world's largest motorcycle maker, plus generators and lawn equipment. Revenue comes from vehicle and motorcycle sales and auto-loan interest; trades as an ADR.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

No prohibited activity

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: $42.38B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 28.4% 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.
