A single overlooked number on company balance sheets determines whether most stock investments rest on debt or real economic activity.

• Average S&P 500 companies carry significant interest-bearing debt, with many popular dividend stocks tied to banks and insurers whose models depend on charging interest.
• Shariah screening applies two layers of filters: banning firms in interest, alcohol, gambling, and related sectors, then enforcing hard caps of 30-33% on debt-to-market value and interest income under 5% of revenue.
• Historical contracts such as mudarabah and musharakah created equity-style risk sharing without fixed interest, requiring partners to share both profits and losses from actual business activity.
• During the 2008 crisis, debt-light screened portfolios avoided the most speculative derivatives, showing more stable deposit growth according to several IMF-linked studies.

Scholarly views differ on whether current ratio thresholds and murabaha structures fully meet original principles.
