Is On Holding AG Stock Halal?
On Holding AG · ONON · NYSE
On Holding AG (ONON) passes our AAOIFI-based screen. Its core business is permissible, and (data as of 2026-03-31) interest-bearing debt is 1.4% of market cap and cash plus interest-bearing securities 10.0% — both inside the 30% AAOIFI thresholds. It is not held by Shariah-screened ETFs SPUS or HLAL. Ratios move with the share price, so check the data-as-of date; any incidental interest income should be purified.

Our Analysis
On Holding is one of the cleaner apparel names in the halal stock universe. The company sells running and lifestyle footwear and related apparel through wholesale, digital, and retail channels — a straightforward consumer-goods model with no conventional lending, insurance, or gambling activity in its core operations.
Financial ratios on our latest screen show low debt relative to market cap, modest cash holdings, and filing-verified interest income around 1% of revenue — well inside AAOIFI's 5% tolerance. Purification of dividends for that incidental interest is standard practice rather than a reason to avoid the stock.
Zoya publicly classifies ONON as Shariah-compliant as of June 2026. U.S. Shariah ETFs SPUS and HLAL did not list On Holding in the holdings schedules we verified; that reflects index scope (foreign mid-cap) more than an automatic compliance failure. Investors seeking ETF validation should check whether international Shariah funds cover Swiss-listed names.
Practical takeaway: business activity is permissible, ratios pass with margin, and retail screeners like Zoya agree — treat as halal on current data with routine purification and attention to the dated ratio table as the share price moves.
Business Activity Screen
On Holding AG (On Running) develops and sells athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories worldwide through wholesale, distributors, e-commerce, and its own stores. The Swiss company's annual reporting describes a single consumer athletic brand focused on running and lifestyle shoes — a permissible apparel/footwear business without conventional finance, insurance, or gambling segments.
Revenue is overwhelmingly from shoe and apparel sales. Zoya reports interest income about 1.0% of revenue for FY2025 — under the 5% AAOIFI threshold on our screen. No material alcohol, tobacco, or gaming revenue lines are disclosed.

Spot market cap at research date (consider trailing average for borderline names). Data as of 2026-03-31 · thresholds per AAOIFI Shariah standards.
This verdict uses the AAOIFI standard — the most widely used and, at a 30% debt limit, the most conservative mainstream Shariah standard. Interest-bearing debt and interest-bearing securities each stay under 30% of market cap, and impermissible income under 5% of revenue. Other standards (Dow Jones Islamic, S&P Shariah, MSCI Islamic, FTSE Yasaar) use ~33% limits or screen against total assets, so a borderline company can be rated differently by each.

How On Holding AG screens across Shariah standards
The standards disagree on this company. It passes some Shariah screens and fails others — which is exactly why you may see a different answer in different apps. Our headline verdict uses AAOIFI, the strictest and most widely cited mainstream standard.
| Standard | Debt | Cash & interest securities | Limit / basis | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAOIFI (our standard) | 1.4% | 10.0% | < 30% of market cap | Pass |
| Dow Jones Islamic / S&P Shariah thresholdDow Jones and S&P apply this limit against a trailing 24–36-month average market cap; shown here on the same point-in-time market cap for comparison. | 1.4% | 10.0% | < 33% of market cap | Pass |
| MSCI Islamic / FTSE Yasaar basisTotal-assets denominator. MSCI/FTSE also apply entry/exit buffers and a receivables screen we do not reproduce. | 4.8% | 34.4% | < 33.33% of total assets | Fail |
HalalWallet computation reproducing each standard's threshold and denominator from public filings (balance sheet as of 2026-03-31) — not the providers' licensed index determinations, which can differ. Debt is interest-bearing borrowings (operating leases excluded). The impermissible-income screen (< 5% of revenue) is common to all of these standards and is shown in the ratio table above. Dow Jones and S&P apply their limit against a trailing 24–36-month average market cap; MSCI and FTSE add entry/exit buffers and a receivables screen. Full methodology →

Purification
Even Shariah-compliant companies typically earn a small amount of incidental interest on corporate cash. The standard practice is to purify: donate the proportion of your dividends (and, per some scholars, capital gains) attributable to impermissible income. Our purification calculator automates the math from your holding and the company's disclosed figures.

A pass today isn't a pass forever — ratios drift across thresholds between filings. A halal screener monitors holdings continuously.
