Israeli public deals reach USD32b in strongest first half since 2022
Israeli companies completed 325 public and private offerings totaling USD 32 billion in the first half of 2026, making it the third-strongest year for Israeli public transactions in the past decade, according to a new Grant Thornton Israel report.
The report found that Israeli companies raised approximately USD 4.1 billion during the period, with approximately 30 IPOs expected by the end of the year. Grant Thornton Israel said the market’s performance reflects continued investor confidence despite macroeconomic uncertainty and Israel’s complex security environment.
Technology companies continued to drive activity, accounting for 66% of companies involved in deals over the past year. AI-centered companies also played a major role, representing approximately one-third of transactions.
The report also highlighted a strong period for the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, which rose 38% over the first six months of the year. Grant Thornton Israel noted that companies entering the public markets are generally more mature than in prior cycles, with stronger business models and larger transaction sizes.
