What You Should Know

Graco is a US designer, manufacturer, and marketer of fluid-handling equipment organized into three reporting segments: Industrial (precision-dispense equipment, sealants and adhesives, lubrication for industrial assembly), Contractor (paint sprayers, texture sprayers, and accessories for professional painting contractors), and Process (pumps and valves for chemical, oil-and-gas, food-and-beverage, pharmaceutical, and water-treatment end markets). Graco serves industrial OEMs, professional contractors, and distributors globally. Fluid-handling equipment for general-purpose industrial and process end markets is unambiguously permissible at the activity level. Graco operates a high-quality industrial balance sheet with cash exceeding debt and strong free-cash-flow generation; the debt-to-market-cap ratio sits well below the 33% Sharia threshold across the cycle. The qualitative screen passes cleanly across major Sharia advisory boards. Muslim investors should verify the current ratios at their preferred screening platform.
