- Bank Hapoalim secured a USD 85.00 million facility on September 30, 2026.

- Bank Hapoalim's next earnings report is scheduled for November 16, 2026.
Bank Hapoalim B.M (IL0006625771) secured a USD 85.00 million credit facility for Stark Power on September 30, 2026, according to The Jerusalem Post. The agreement places the Israeli bank behind a financing package for US power and energy-storage projects.
The facility targets US expansion
The financing provides a loan facility of up to USD 60.00 million and guarantees of USD 25.00 million, taking the total commitment to USD 85.00 million. The Jerusalem Post said the facility would support acquisitions, construction and ongoing operations for Stark Power's US energy assets.
EBN described the agreement in October 2026 as covering loans and guarantees for power-generation and data-center projects. For Bank Hapoalim, the deal offers a concrete example of its project-finance activity beyond traditional domestic lending.
What does the facility mean for growth?
The answer rests on the bank's earnings capacity and capital returns. Calcalist reported that second-quarter profit reached USD 830.00 million on August 11, 2026, while the bank planned ILS 1.24 billion in dividends and share buybacks. The payout gives the financing expansion a direct counterpoint: growth initiatives are being presented alongside shareholder distributions.
Net income increased from ILS 2.12 billion in the first quarter to ILS 2.49 billion in the second quarter of 2026, according to TradingView. That comparison gives investors a clearer measure of the bank's recent operating base than the facility size alone.
November 16 is the next date
The next scheduled earnings report is November 16, 2026, according to Investing.com. That report will provide the next dated test of profit trends, shareholder returns and the bank's ability to convert project financing into broader earnings growth.
Banking expansion remains the key theme
Bank Hapoalim is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker POLI and operates across retail, corporate and financial-markets banking. The USD 85.00 million agreement connects that established franchise with US infrastructure finance, while the November reporting date supplies the next formal checkpoint.
