HPE
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.
Is HPE Halal?
Enterprise IT infrastructure, servers, storage, and networking — permissible technology business.
What You Should Know
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (spun off from HP Inc. in 2015) is a global enterprise IT vendor providing servers (ProLiant), storage, networking (Aruba), high-performance computing (Cray), and edge-to-cloud services through its GreenLake hybrid cloud platform. The 2024 acquisition of Juniper Networks adds enterprise networking and AI-driven networking software. Enterprise IT infrastructure is unambiguously permissible. HPE carries moderate debt — including HPE Financial Services, which provides equipment financing to customers (a small but interest-related revenue stream) — but balance sheet ratios remain within Sharia thresholds at most major screening boards. Core hardware and software revenue dominates the mix.
⚠️ Concerns
- •HPE Financial Services originates equipment financing that includes interest income (small share of total revenue)
- •Moderate debt within Sharia thresholds following the Juniper acquisition
- •Some federal and defense customer exposure (small, dual-use enterprise IT not weapons systems)
- •Minor interest income on cash reserves
