What the company does
Kopin makes microdisplays (tiny high-resolution screens) for defense (soldier eyewear, helmets), medical and AR headsets. Its money comes from display sales (the defense segment is checked by the screener).
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

Figures from the company's filings (2026-03-31), 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: $667.39M.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 48.2% of total assets (2026-03-31). 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.
