Meitav's Record 2025 Profits Signal Strength in Israel's Resilient Economy

TEL AVIV, Israel – March 19, 2026 – Meitav Investment House (TASE: MTAV) today announced record-breaking financial results for 2025, a performance that not only highlights the firm's strategic execution but also serves as a powerful barometer for the resilience of Israel's broader economy. Against a backdrop of a national economy that surpassed growth expectations in 2025, Meitav reported a 40% surge in operating profit and a 24% rise in revenue, capping a year defined by strategic expansion, technological integration, and growing international investor confidence.

The announcement comes as Israel's economy demonstrated significant vigor, with GDP growing by 3.1% in 2025, outperforming initial forecasts and bouncing back from a volatile period. Meitav's success, fueled by record assets under management and robust client inflows, mirrors the positive trends of moderating inflation and renewed investment activity that characterized the Israeli market heading into 2026.

A Year of Unprecedented Growth

Meitav's full-year 2025 results paint a picture of a company firing on all cylinders. Revenues climbed 24% year-over-year to a record NIS 2.01 billion (approximately $630 million), while operating profit soared by an impressive 40% to NIS 682 million (around $214 million). This profitability was underpinned by a significant increase in the company's adjusted EBITDA margin, which improved to 41% for the full year, up from 35% in 2024.

The firm's growth was driven by strong demand across its core offerings. Total Assets Under Management (AUM) reached an all-time high of NIS 407 billion (about $128 billion) by the end of 2025, a 24% increase from the previous year. This momentum was fueled by both market performance and substantial client inflows, particularly in the long-term savings (LTS) segment, which saw over NIS 9 billion in net inflows during the fourth quarter alone.

"We are pleased to report record financial results and KPIs in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025," said Ilan Raviv, Chief Executive Officer of Meitav. "Revenue and profitability growth, combined with continued positive net client inflows across our core savings and investment products, demonstrate our ability to execute consistently in a dynamic and challenging market environment."

Chief Financial Officer Einat Rom highlighted the firm's fiscal discipline as a key factor in its success. "Our 2025 financial results demonstrate disciplined financial management and operational strength," she stated. "We sustained profitable growth, with revenues up 24% and our ability to maintain a very modest increase of only 7% in our G&A expenses led to a 40% growth in our operating profit year-over-year, while strengthening the balance sheet."

A Global Vote of Confidence

A pivotal moment in Meitav's year was the successful completion of a NIS 500 million (approximately $157 million) equity raise in December 2025. The offering, managed by Jefferies as the sole global coordinator, attracted top-tier international and Israeli institutional investors. This infusion of foreign capital is widely seen as a significant endorsement of Meitav's long-term strategy and the intrinsic strength of the Israeli financial market.

This event aligns with a broader trend in 2025, which saw foreign residents invest over NIS 9.6 billion in the Israeli market in the first half of the year alone. The successful capital raise for Meitav indicates that sophisticated global investors are looking past geopolitical headlines to identify fundamentally strong companies in resilient economies.

Raviv noted the significance of the transaction, stating, "The transaction reflects strong global confidence in our strategy and reinforces our ability to deploy capital strategically to drive long-term growth." This new capital is expected to fuel further expansion and strategic initiatives as the company moves through 2026.

The AI-Powered Efficiency Engine

Underpinning Meitav's financial success is a deep and strategic commitment to technology, particularly artificial intelligence. The company has been aggressively investing in AI-based systems to streamline operations, enhance client services, and drive significant cost savings. This tech-forward approach positions Meitav at the vanguard of FinTech adoption within Israel's traditional investment sector.

The firm is leveraging AI for a range of automated tasks, including reading and processing documents and emails within its long-term savings and retail brokerage divisions. This has not only improved efficiency but also strengthened quality control. Furthermore, the integration of AI solutions into the company's IT development has dramatically shortened product time-to-market, with programming tasks that once took weeks now being completed in days or even hours.

This strategy is reflective of Israel's status as a global AI hub, where venture capital and corporate investment in artificial intelligence have surged. Meitav's belief that AI will be a "major element" in constraining G&A costs while enabling rapid top-line growth appears well-founded in a market that continues to pioneer technological innovation.

Diversifying for Sustained Momentum

Looking ahead, Meitav's strategy hinges on continued diversification. The company has successfully expanded its non-bank credit activities, with its portfolio growing to NIS 3.7 billion. This move allows the firm to tap into a growing segment of the Israeli economy, where nonfinancial business sector debt has been on the rise, particularly in real estate and construction.

Simultaneously, the firm is building out its alternative investment offerings. Through its Meitav Access platform, it launched new funds focused on infrastructure and real estate, and it consolidated the recently acquired Trio hedge fund. These initiatives have boosted the total AUM in alternative investments to approximately NIS 1.4 billion, providing clients with access to a broader range of high-value opportunities.

The strong start to 2026, with AUM growing by an additional NIS 23 billion in the first two months of the year, reinforces the company's positive outlook. In a move to enhance transparency, Meitav plans to report monthly KPIs to allow investors to track its progress. This confidence is formally expressed in the company's guidance for the year ahead, as it reaffirmed its ambitious target of achieving 20% profitability growth in 2026, subject to market conditions.
