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:
Tobacco/nicotine is ~14% of revenue (10-K) — above 5%; scratch lottery and beer are sold too
What the company does
Murphy USA runs over 1,700 gas stations and convenience stores in the US (most next to Walmart), plus the QuickChek chain. Revenue comes from fuel and in-store merchandise.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
