<p>Israel’s defense sector has moved from a specialized corner of the local market to one of the most closely watched areas of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. As global security needs evolve, Israeli defense companies are attracting growing investor attention because their technologies are not theoretical — they are being tested, refined, and deployed under real-world conditions.</p>

</nav>
<h2 id="defense-stock-drivers">What Is Driving the Rise of Israeli Defense Stocks on TASE?</h2>
<p>The short answer is sustained conflict combined with global demand for proven systems. Over the past two and a half years, Israel has faced continuous security pressure across multiple fronts, from Gaza to Lebanon and tensions involving Iran. This has translated into a real-time testing ground for military technology. Financial markets tend to reward visibility, and Israeli defense companies now offer exactly that: systems that are not theoretical but operational.</p>
<p>The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange has reflected this shift. A dedicated defense index, launched just six months ago, has already recorded gains of <strong>31%</strong>, with early performance suggesting investors view the sector as structurally supported rather than cyclical. This is not a short-term spike driven by headlines. It is a repricing of companies whose products are now central to modern warfare.</p>
<p>At a broader level, global defense spending has been rising following the Russia-Ukraine war, and war in the Middle East has added another layer of urgency. Israeli firms sit at the intersection of these trends.</p>
<p>Recent reporting highlights that global demand for Israeli defense systems has accelerated meaningfully, with exports reaching record levels as countries prioritize technologies that have been tested in real-world conditions. In particular, systems related to air defense, drones, and battlefield intelligence have seen heightened interest from Europe and other regions responding to evolving security threats.</p>
<p>This growing demand reflects a broader shift in procurement priorities: governments are increasingly favoring solutions that demonstrate proven performance under operational stress. Israel’s defense sector, shaped by continuous real-time deployment, is therefore gaining strategic relevance beyond its domestic market.</p>
<p><a href="#top">Back to top</a></p>
<h2 id="listed-israeli-defense-companies">Which Israeli Defense Companies Are Listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange?</h2>
<p>Israel’s defense ecosystem includes both large, globally recognized firms and smaller, specialized companies. The larger players provide scale and stability, while smaller firms often deliver niche technologies tied to emerging battlefield needs.</p>
<p>Here are several publicly traded defense companies listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange:</p>

<p>Elbit Systems stands out as the anchor of the sector. This company provides a benchmark for international demand. Meanwhile, companies like NextVision represent the newer wave, focused on components critical to unmanned systems.</p>
<p>This mix gives investors exposure across the value chain, from full-system integrators to specialized component suppliers.</p>
<p><a href="#top">Back to top</a></p>
<h2 id="conflicts-defense-demand">How Have Recent Conflicts Increased Demand for Israeli Defense Technology?</h2>
<p>Modern warfare has shifted away from large, conventional engagements toward distributed, technology-driven systems. The wars involving Israel over the past two and a half years have accelerated this transition. Drones, precision-guided systems, and layered air defense have moved from supporting roles to central pillars.</p>
<p>Israeli technology has been shaped directly by these conditions. Systems such as Iron Dome and more advanced layered defense solutions are not just theoretical frameworks; they have been deployed repeatedly under real threat conditions. This is relevant for procurement decisions abroad. Governments are less interested in untested systems and more focused on what works under pressure.</p>
<p>There is also an economic dimension. Analysts have increasingly highlighted the “cost asymmetry” problem: cheap drones or rockets forcing defenders to use expensive interceptors. Israel’s development of lower-cost solutions, including laser-based interception systems co-developed by Elbit Systems, directly addresses this imbalance.</p>
<p>The result is a shift from domestic necessity to global adoption. Technologies refined in Israel are now being integrated into defense strategies in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia.</p>
<p><a href="#top">Back to top</a></p>
<h2 id="smaller-defense-companies">Why Are Investors Paying Attention to Smaller Israeli Defense Companies?</h2>
<p>The larger Israeli defense players are already well known and often valued accordingly. The real volatility — and potential upside — may sit with smaller companies.</p>
<p>Recent market reactions illustrate this phenomenon clearly. During periods of escalation, smaller defense stocks have posted sharp one-day gains, in some cases exceeding <strong>10%–20%</strong>. Companies such as Aerodrome, Third Eye Systems, and others tied to drone and surveillance technologies have reacted quickly to geopolitical developments.</p>
<div id="attachment_13166" style="width: 1274px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying.png"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13166" class="wp-image-13166 size-full" src="https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying.png" alt="" width="1264" height="848" srcset="https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying.png 1264w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying-300x201.png 300w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying-1024x687.png 1024w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying-768x515.png 768w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying-100x67.png 100w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying-858x576.png 858w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/drone-flying-1200x805.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1264px) 100vw, 1264px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-13166" class="wp-caption-text">Next Vision Stabilization System supplies sophisticated camera systems, including infrared cameras, that can be mounted on drones</p></div>
<p>This behavior reflects two realities. First, smaller firms are often more directly exposed to specific technologies, such as UAV components or tactical communications. Second, they remain underfollowed, meaning price discovery can be abrupt.</p>
<p>However, this cuts both ways. Some of these companies have also experienced significant drawdowns over the past year. In this segment of the market, volatility is not an aberration but a defining characteristic — one that demands careful positioning rather than passive exposure.</p>
<p><a href="#top">Back to top</a></p>
<h2 id="foreign-investor-access">How Can Foreign Investors Access Israeli Defense Exposure?</h2>
<p>Foreign investors have several routes into the Israeli defense sector, and the choice depends on their level of sophistication and access.</p>
<p>Currency is also a factor. The shekel’s strength over the past year — and really over the past 25 years — has significantly amplified returns for foreign investors, though currency gains cannot be guaranteed for future investors.</p>
<p>One path is through a few dual-listed companies such as Elbit Systems, which trades on Nasdaq. This removes direct exposure to Israeli currency because the shares are traded in U.S. dollars, while still providing exposure to Israeli defense demand. Unfortunately, only a small number of Israeli companies in the TASE defense index are dual-listed on both TASE and Nasdaq.</p>
<p>For those with access to TASE directly — and who desire shekel exposure that may or may not increase returns — the new TASE defense index offers a diversified entry point. It aggregates companies across the sector, reducing single-stock risk.</p>
<p>But not all companies in this sector have equal fundamentals or equal promise. Another method for gaining Israeli defense exposure, together with shekel exposure, is through a managed investment account with an Israeli-licensed portfolio manager or a U.S. SEC-registered investment adviser firm. Wise Money Israel is licensed locally in Israel and registered with the SEC, and performs its own fundamental analysis on Israeli companies, including defense companies, when investing on behalf of clients in what it believes will provide the client a better risk-adjusted return.</p>
<p>Another indirect route is through global defense ETFs, some of which include a small number of Israeli companies as part of broader international holdings. Many of these ETFs limit the inclusion of Israeli defense firms when they have geographic mandates, such as U.S.-domiciled-only exposure. Therefore, buying such an ETF may dilute the specific exposure to Israeli defense firms.</p>
<p><a href="#top">Back to top</a></p>
<h2 id="defense-investment-risks">What Risks Should Investors Consider Before Investing in Israeli Defense Stocks?</h2>
<p>The risks of investing only in this volatile sector are real and, if ignored, expensive. Defense spending is ultimately political. While current trends point upward, they are not guaranteed. A shift in diplomacy, a de-escalation in key regions, or budget reprioritization could slow procurement cycles more quickly than markets expect.</p>
<p>Valuation is another pressure point. After a strong run, parts of the sector are no longer attractively priced. Investors buying into momentum without a clear view of earnings durability risk paying for growth that may already be reflected in the share price.</p>
<p>Concentration risk also remains. Much of the sector’s demand is tied, directly or indirectly, to geopolitical instability. If tensions ease materially, order growth may not collapse, but it could normalize, and markets tend to reprice that shift quickly.</p>
<p>Smaller companies add a further layer of risk. Many rely on a narrow customer base or a limited number of contracts. Execution missteps, delays, or technological shifts can have disproportionate effects on their valuation.</p>
<p>These risks do not invalidate the investment case, but they do require discipline. In practice, they are best managed through active oversight. A portfolio manager with a clear mandate to anticipate emerging economic and financial trends — rather than react to headlines — can adjust exposure, rebalance positions, and differentiate between structural growth and temporary enthusiasm.</p>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>Seen in that light, the broader investment case becomes clearer. The rise of Israeli defense stocks is not simply a reaction to recent conflict. It reflects a deeper shift in how military capability is developed, tested, and ultimately procured. Systems proven under real conditions are gaining relevance far beyond Israel, and financial markets have begun to price that reality.</p>
<p>For investors, the opportunity is clear but not without complexity. This is not a passive story. It requires selectivity, an understanding of geopolitical drivers, and a willingness to navigate volatility. Those who approach the sector with discipline rather than enthusiasm may be better positioned to participate in its long-term potential.</p>

<p>The prominent credit rating agency Fitch Ratings released recently an overview of Israel's economic outlook for investors indicating a potential upgrade of the country’s credit rating from its current A+ status.<br />
According to the report, the near-term outlook is displaying promising signs of improvement, despite recent market volatility and ongoing geopolitical tensions. The credit agency suggests that Israel's return to budget deficits from previous surpluses will not hinder the further reduction of Israel’s general government Debt to GDP ratios. Before 2022, Israel had a relatively low ratio of 68.9% (U.S. has a staggering ratio of 129% - even higher than Cuba), but Israel budget surpluses in 2022 decreased the country’s debt ratio even further: to 61.6%. Fitch Ratings projected a further reduction in Israel’s Debt to GDP ratio to 57.9% by 2024, which could potentially lead to positive rating action, such as a rating more in-line with “AA’ peers’ ratios.</p>
<p>In fact, Fitch expects the deficits over the next three years to be narrower than those experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Israel’s GDP grew in 2022 by 6.4%. Although weaker housing and stock markets are anticipated to contribute to a decline of approximately 2.3% in revenue in 2023, Israel's government Debt to GDP ratio is expected to continue its downward trajectory due to robust nominal GDP growth projected at an average of 6.9% over the next three years.</p>
<p>While Israel faces ongoing internal social and political tensions, the passage of Israel’s biannual government budget provides near-term political stability and government effectiveness. However, Fitch Ratings cautions that the advancement of certain policies favored by the governing coalition could exacerbate these strains and potentially influence the country's sovereign rating. In particular, judicial reform has been identified as having the potential to negatively impact Israel's credit profile, depending on its effects on governance indicators and policy outcomes.</p>
<p>As to Israel's capital markets, recent security related developments caused a disparity between economic reality and the capital market’s performance. After an increase of 6.6% between mid-April and mid-May while the coalition and opposition parties began discussing possible compromises, Israel’s stock market experienced a decline of 5.3%, signaling a return of fear among investors after a period of positive momentum. This volatility was primarily driven by security-related statements regarding the Iranian situation made by Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi during a conference in Herzeliya last week.</p>
<p>However, not everyone sees the situation as gloomy as some media outlets are trying to portray. In fact, one of the leading Israeli banks, Discount Bank, has recommended to its clients to start gradually increasing exposure to the stocks listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The bank cites a reasonably stable economy, relatively cheap pricing of equities, and the belief that some potential risk events, such as the approval of the budget, have already passed. Based on the bank's assessment, the Price/Earnings ratio of the large-cap TA-35 index is 22.1% below its historical median.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11731" src="https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/גרף.png" alt="" width="554" height="249" srcset="https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/גרף.png 554w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/גרף-300x135.png 300w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/גרף-100x45.png 100w" sizes="(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px" /><br />
Chart: Gap of Weighted Average of Expected Price/Earning vs. the Index’s Historical Median (globes.co.il)</p>
<p>In terms of the local macroeconomic situation, Discount Bank assesses it as reasonable and relatively good in certain parameters. Israel's GDP growth in the first quarter stood at 2.5%, surpassing market forecasts. Positive contributors to this growth include decreased imports, increased service exports, and higher consumption. While some segments may experience a slowdown, the overall data remains reasonably positive despite rising interest rates.</p>
<p>Therefore, the recent developments are giving us reasons to be optimistic. Based on the Israel's near-term economic outlook, there are clear signs of improvement despite market volatility and geopolitical tensions. The projected reduction in the government Debt to GDP ratio, stable governance indicators, and recommendations from financial institutions such as Discount Bank to increase exposure to the local stock market highlight the country's positive economic prospects. While challenges remain, Israel's reasonably stable economic situation and relatively cheap pricing in the stock market position Israel as an attractive investment opportunity.</p>

<p>You may be watching the current financial situation with concern, due to growing inflation, tremendous money printing, and talk of the U.S. dollar (USD) potentially losing its world reserve currency status that it has had since 1944. Since January 2020, the U.S. has printed nearly 80% of all USD in existence.</p>
<p>It is now time to take proactive steps to protect yourself by considering transferring more USD (or other currency) to your Israeli shekel-based investment account. This move that will help diversify your investments from a currency perspective, and can hedge against the eroding value of the dollar.</p>
<p>As of the date of this article, given that the annual inflation <em>reported</em> is 8.5% in the United States, 7.8% in the European Union, 7.3% in Germany, 7% in the U.K. and 6.7% in Canada, Israel’s relatively low inflation rate of 3.5% (currently) as of is seen as a safe haven to slow the quick erosion of hard-earned gains.</p>
<p>But, due to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate increase to slow the acceleration of U.S. inflation, as of the date of this article, the USD has increased <strong>8.1%</strong> in the past 15 currency trading days against the Israeli shekel (NIS). This temporarily has slowed the long-term trend of a weakening USD, while the long-term trend of the dollar devaluation continues (the shekel’s value increased <strong>46%</strong> over the USD over the past 20 years - as of the date of this article).</p>
<p>This current situation presents you a unique opportunity to transfer USD (or your currency) and convert to NIS now while this erosion has slowed temporarily. These opportunities are rare and short-lived. As we watch the global markets, our firm advises to take action before the long-term trend resumes.</p>

<p><i>By Wise Money Israel Analyst</i></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-8166" src="https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1.jpeg" alt="" width="499" height="374" srcset="https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1.jpeg 4608w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1-100x75.jpeg 100w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1-858x644.jpeg 858w, https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1-1200x900.jpeg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px" /></p>
<p>In the past 5 years, the U.S. stock index S&amp;P 500 increased approximately 105%. The Dow Jones Industrial Index returned about 86%. However, during that time period, Israel’s Tel Aviv Stock Index (TA-25) registered “modest” growth of approximately 54%. [The TA-25 doubled and quintupled Wall Street’s performance over the past 10 and 15 years time periods respectively]. The more interesting question is what will does the future hold? Which market will outperform over the next five years?</p>
<p>I believe that the <strong>Israeli stock market is more attractive</strong> than other developed nations, especially compared to the American stock market that gained considerably in the past five years. Here are three key reasons why investing in the Israeli stock market is a better investment than the American stock market:</p>
<ol>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ol>
<li><u>More attractive P/E Ratios</u>: When comparing Price/Earning ratios<sup>1</sup> between stock markets around the world and other ratios, we can see that the Israeli market is more attractive (cheaper) than the majority of developed nations’ stock markets around the world, and in particular, the U.S. stock market. There are countries with more attractive multiples, but these are <i>developing </i>nations or emerging markets and not developed countries. See the table "Market Indicators By Nation". [Israel's indicators rank it as the 10th best market]</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><u>Macro-economic indicators support growth</u>: When we look fundamentally at the Israeli economy, there are several indicators that support long-term growth, compared with the other developed nations in the world. For example, Israel’s Debt-to-GDP ratio of 67% compares well to Germany’s higher debt ratio of 75%, 91% in the Euro block, 101% in the United States, and 230% in Japan. In addition, Israel’s unemployment rate is approximately 5.0% [OECD average: 7.4%], GDP is about 3.0%, and Israel’s population growth rate is the second fastest in the world’s developed economies (only Ireland is growing faster). In addition, Israel is characterized by a young population, well-educated (ranking second place globally for percentage of high school graduates, and first place globally for percentage for PhDs). Despite these indicators, the domestic economy is lagging compared to developed countries in per capita income. Therefore, I believe that the local Israeli economy will continue to grow at a faster pace than the developed nations average in the coming years.</li>
<li>The <u>ratio of companies’ valuation to GDP</u>. As is well known, in the long-term a stock market’s valuation will move in relationship to certain key indicators. Warren Buffett claimed that the ratio of companies’ valuation to GDP is “the single best indicator for overall stock market pricing.” The table "Capitalization to GDP" summarizes the stock markets pricing valuation as derived from this ratio.<br />
[TABLE=32]
<div id="attachment_5959" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="//www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Israeli-stock-market-capitalization-relative-to-GDP.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5959" class="size-medium wp-image-5959" src="//www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Israeli-stock-market-capitalization-relative-to-GDP-300x168.jpg" alt="click to enlarge" width="300" height="168" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5959" class="wp-caption-text">click to enlarge</p></div>
<div id="attachment_5960" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="//www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/U.S.-stock-market-capitalization-relative-to-GDP.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5960" class="size-medium wp-image-5960" src="//www.wisemoneyisrael.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/U.S.-stock-market-capitalization-relative-to-GDP-300x181.jpg" alt="click to enlarge" width="300" height="181" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5960" class="wp-caption-text">click to enlarge</p></div>
<p>As you can see in the graphs here, the ratio between the companies valuation compared to GDP of the Israeli stock market is approximately 0.78, meaning it is priced between “fair value” value and “cheap market” value. On the other hand, the U.S. stock market ratio is <strong>1.27</strong>! In other words, the indicator shows that the U.S. stock market is <strong>very, very expensive</strong>, and we can expect to see a deep correction downward in U.S. indices.</li>
</ol>
<p>Accordingly, I believe that in the near future, the Israeli stock market will outperform compared to the U.S. stock market, and therefore, we recommend that you increase your exposure to Israeli stocks, and consider closing U.S. stock market positions.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">There is an interesting Israeli real estate developer that has caught our attention. It can be invested in directly via the company's stock or bonds on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.</p>
<p>Here are highlights from an <strong>economic analysis</strong> commissioned by Portfolio Management firm Cramim by Senior Financial Analyst Zuri Ilan. <strong>[TABLE=30] </strong><em>(This analysis is intended for institutions only; see legal disclaimer at the end of the article)</em></p>
<h2>Company Overview</h2>
<p><strong>Mishorim ("Levels") Development Company Limited</strong> is engaged in the initiation and development of real estate projects, hotels, tourism and resort properties in Canada and Israel. The group owns income-producing real estate properties, hotels and other assets totaling about 85,000 sqm and land for development and improvement totaling approximately 3,000 housing units and more than 13,600 acres.</p>
<p>The company is controlled by businessman Gil Blutrich, Chairman of Mishorim and President and Chairman of the Canadian subsidiary <strong>Skyline</strong>. Mishorim's business strategy includes identifying opportunities in stable and and developed countries, identification of strategic and financial partners to reduce risk, equity extraction, development and asset enhancement, improvement of cash flow and asset realization with significant capital gains. Mishorim is characterized by excess yield compared to the industry while maintaining a low risk profile.</p>
<h2>Primary Activities</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hotel Management</strong> - management, acquisition, holding, improvement and sale of hotels, resorts and rental hotel rooms.</li>
<li><strong>Real Estate Investment in Canada</strong> - initiation, development, construction and sale of real estate for usage in residential, commercial, hotels, recreation, industrial and office settings in Canada.</li>
<li><strong>Rental Real Estate and Development</strong> <strong>in Israel</strong> - initiation, development, operation and sale of entrepreneurial and income-producing projects in Israel.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Corporate Structure</h2>
<p>Mishorim Development Corporation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Direct ownership of assets in Israel</li>
<li>70.31% interest in Skyline Canada Israel</li>
<li>Skyline Canada Israel has a 94.36% interest in Skyline International Inc.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Mishorim Awarded a "Buy" Recommendation</h2>
<p>Mishorim made a number of positive, significant moves last year that required us to renew our attitude about its stock valuation. Despite the weakness of the market and in particular the weakness of small cap Israel stocks, we actually now find a opportunity to award a "Buy Recommendation" with a target price of 17.1 shekels, reflecting a premium of 98% over the price in the market today (as of the date of analysis).</p>
<p>The management at Mishorim continues to surprise and show consistent success and steadfastness of strategy that it set for itself by the ability to improve assets and their sale with significant profits in relation to its size. We can see this in the realization of assets in Israel and Canada, especially in the last two years as operations and the significant potential future in Canada (via the controlling 66% interest of Skyline International) starts to gain momentum and taking off with a return to economic stability in Canada.</p>
<p>The company recently demonstrated its ability by a land sale in downtown Toronto (Temperance 66) with a significant cash profit of about 94 million shekels within only three years, and the sale of luxury apartments at the King Edward Hotel for a profit of about 15 million shekels within a few months with a full equity recovery. These are just two examples of many that have not yet manifested themselves in the stock's performance.</p>
<p>Holding Mishorim's shares reflects a direct exposure to the strong and developed economy of Canada, which has infinite potential for entrepreneurship. The enormous potential of existing assets of Skyline, combined with a relatively low risk level, will cause the stock to climb sharply with the onset of the second stage of the company's asset improvement plans.</p>
<h2>Some Key Properties</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>King Edward</strong> (17%) - the purchase this property with a number of sizeable partners in Canada raised the company another notch. Within only a few months, the group managed to improve and sell unused land for a total profit of $24 million which will be recognized in the first half of 2012's financial reports, which will in fact return 50% of its investment from its hotel activities, and that doesn't include the increase of cash.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Deerhurst Resor</strong>t - in January, the company completed the acquisition of the site at a price of $26 million with a $19 million bridge loan. It is likely not coincidental that the bridge loan was taken now, as this year the company plans to sell 124 condominium units + 95 land parcels for building for a net profit estimated as at least $ 22 million. Here, too, the company will succeed in restoring the equity invested in the acquisition plus additional profit within a short period of time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Horseshoe Valley</strong> - without relating to the internal growth of the field of hospitality and hotel management, there also exists in this property high potential value. Here, too, one can not ignore the success of the company to increase the building rights to approximately 1276 units + 370 additional hotel rooms + 37 000 square meters of retail space. The entire site was purchased for $36.8 million when the company last year invested another approximately $3.4 million in renewing the park that offers adventure sports and recreational activities. This investment will immediately increase the NOI already in the coming year. Again in this case, just the future incremental value from the enterprise yields high capitalization rates of 18% - 20%, which cannot be understated.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Port McNicoll</strong> - The land was purchased at "bargain" price of only about $8 million with residential, commercial and hotel building rights. The management of the company has been able to improve  the value of the land and increase the building rights from approximately 650 units to approximately 1512 units in addition to increasing rights in the hotel and retail spaces. In the first stage with the sale of less than 5% of the land's potential, the company returned all capital invested and thus paved the way for the second phase which has a more significant future value according to all estimating methods and current valuations. Even at high capitalization rates of 16% - 25% the future value is significant.</p>
<p><strong>Skyline Tower</strong> - April 2011, the Company signed an agreement to sell the land at Temperance 66 for approximately - 140.4 million shekels. After repayment of the mortgage totaling about $13 million, the company expected cash flow surplus amounts to 94 million shekels. The company’s proven ability to improve properties has not been reflected in its share value.</p>
<p><strong>Activity in rental properties in Israel</strong> - the company manages rental properties in Israel with a fair value of 167 million shekels when the annual NOI attributable to the company amounted to approximately 13.1 million shekels in 2010. Despite an increase in cash flow forecast in the coming years following the continued increase in occupancy and rent price increase, we think they are fully priced.</p>
<h2>Skyline International (66% interest)</h2>
<p>Has potentially immense value for years to come. In accordance with the strategy, the company has made in recent years purchases of assets with tremendous upside potential, which with a conservative approach amounts to evaluating them at at least $113 million.</p>
<p>In the valuation we carried out on Mishorim, we chose to focus on the activities of Skyline Canada, as we believe that most of the future value of assets will come from asset improvements and from major property rights of the company.</p>
<div>
<h3>Skyline International Highlights</h3>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The company was founded in 1998 by Gil Blutrich as a company engaged in the marketing of luxury apartment suites hotel and hospitality, beginning operations with 1,000 rooms and development of 1,500 additional rooms.</li>
<li>During the 13 years of operations, shareholders' equity grew from C$600,000 to C$80 million.</li>
<li>Today, the company focuses on the location and improvement of properties within hotels and resorts in Ontario, Canada, which produce a constant cash flow on the one hand and have significant land improvement and development potential on the other.</li>
<li>The company has proven in recent years the ability to purchase property at low priced and their profitable sale after improvement.</li>
<li>The second largest shareholder in Skyline is Israel Land Development Corporation, holding about 29.69% of the equity.</li>
<li>The company has a large land "bank" with building rights of thousands of housing units, hotels, retail space, berths for yachts and other assets.</li>
<li>The equity of Skyline is C$84.4 million, with financing amounting to about 34% of total assets.</li>
<li>The company has capital loss tax offsets of $12 million for the years to come.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smart investors use their money to generate income by ensuring that while they are invested they are also getting additional payouts from their investment. One of the strategies you may consider is investing in Israeli dividend stocks. Many of the largest companies on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange give dividend payments every 4-6 months, so while you are investing your money in the Israeli capital market, you'll also be receiving cash payments as long as you hold the stock.<span id="more-3903"></span></p>
<p>Over 175 Israeli stocks pay out dividends<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wismonisr-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0470125128" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> of over 3% per year, and 12 of those listed below pay double-digit dividends yearly. Investing in stocks carries associated risk of market volatility, so before making decisions on which stocks to purchase, choose wisely by consulting an expert so you can ensure that your choices are in-line with your financial needs, etc. The list of dividend stocks below make up the Tel-Div 20, an Israeli Stock Exchange index comprised of shares that deliver the highest dividend yields (and also meet strict high market capitalization, liquidity and free float % rules of the Stock Exchange). This index can be purchased as one stock transaction via one of the many ETFs that track the index ,with one small commission through your <a title="Information on opening an Israeli investment account" href="https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com/invest/personal-account/" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Israeli investment account</a>. This strategy provides stock diversification over many large, dividend-paying companies from various sectors.</p>
<p>Historically, dividend-paying stocks have provided more stability and resistance to stock market volatility. Here is a chart of the last 3 years' performance of the Tel-Div 20 vs. the broader market index (Tel Aviv-100). The dividend index far outperformed the broader market, almost doubling its performance over time. Keep in mind, past performance is no guarantee of future results.</p>

<p>Another avenue to get stock exposure and receive dividend payments is to purchase a few of the individual stocks that pay dividends (some are listed below). Keep in mind that unlike some dividend stocks on Wall Street where the dividend payments are generally the same amount and paid out each quarter, some of the Israeli stocks listed below don't give equal payouts and/or don't pay out quarterly, so the dividend yields here reflect actual payouts over the past 12 months.</p>
