The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) rose 38% during the first half of 2026, according to a Grant Thornton Israel report. This period represents the third-best half-year for the exchange in the last decade.
Total deal volume reached $32 billion across public and private markets. Transactions included 325 separate deals. Approximately 30 Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) launched during this period. These IPOs raised a total of $4.1 billion.
Analysts attribute the surge to investors diversifying away from oil-dependent markets. The defense sector attracted significant capital following the conflict with Iran. Israeli companies are now approaching the market with more mature business models and larger deal structures. These figures indicate strong investor confidence despite the complex geopolitical environment.
