What the company does
Viavi makes network test and measurement instruments (fiber, 5G) and optical coatings (anti-counterfeiting pigments for banknotes, 3D-sensing filters). Its money comes from instrument and optical-product sales.
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 (2026-06-30), 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: $8.73B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 37.9% 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.
