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:
Floorplan lending (OPENLANE/AFC — riba, ~20%+ of revenue)
What the company does
OPENLANE (formerly KAR) runs online used-car auctions for dealers (the core business) and AFC, which lends dealers money for inventory (floorplan financing). Its money comes from auction fees and loan interest.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
