Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M. (ISIN IL0006046119) drew a higher consensus valuation on October 15, 2026, when analysts moved fair value from ILS 88.87 to ILS 90.90, according to Simply Wall St. The bank is also dealing with a class action approved by the Central District Court on September 22, 2026, as Globes reported on October 11, 2026.
Q2 results support the valuation
Bank Leumi reported ILS 2.83 billion in net income for the second quarter of 2026, up 8.50 percent from the second quarter of 2025. Return on equity reached 16.3 percent, while the cost-income ratio stood at 24.7 percent.
The bank's second-quarter credit grew 3.4 percent to ILS 567 billion, and nonperforming loans stood at 0.45 percent. Those figures give the higher valuation a stronger operating backdrop, although the legal case adds a separate risk that could affect future pricing of banking products.
