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:
Interest income: the spread on client cash balances is ~75% of revenue (Wealthfront)
What the company does
Wealthfront (IPO 2025) is a robo-advisor and cash-account app ($95B in assets). About 75% of its money comes from the interest spread on client cash balances and about 25% from advisory fees (the interest share 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.
