The Phoenix (IL0007670123) appointed Shay Tzadok as deputy CEO and CFO effective October 5, 2026, after Eli Schwartz concluded his role. Simply Wall St reported the internal leadership change on September 17, 2026, placing capital allocation and risk discipline at the center of the transition.

Three dated leadership milestones

On August 25, 2026, Phoenix Financial held its second-quarter 2026 earnings call and reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, according to MarketScreener. On September 17, 2026, the company announced the CFO succession, with the handover taking effect on October 5, 2026.

The October 5 change is the latest of the three dated milestones. Tzadok moved from chief of staff to the CEO into a combined deputy CEO and CFO role, making the transition an internal promotion rather than an external management search.

What the CFO change means

Simply Wall St said on September 17, 2026, that Phoenix Financial's profit margin had eased to 16.00 percent from 17.50 percent. Its analysis also cited five-year annual earnings growth of 17.80 percent, while forecasting annual earnings growth of 4.94 percent.

That contrast gives the CFO transition a measurable operating backdrop. Historical growth has been stronger than the forward estimate, so investors are likely to read capital allocation, risk appetite and operating discipline through the new finance leadership.

Stock stays below its yearly high

PHOE.TA was trading at ILA 17,040.00 on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange at 10:21 a.m. IDT on October 13, 2026. The 52-week range was ILA 11,740.00 to ILA 20,130.00, placing the latest quote below the yearly high while keeping it above the low.

The Phoenix operates across insurance, pensions, investment management and credit services in Israel. The finance leadership change therefore matters beyond a single reporting line because it reaches capital allocation and risk decisions across several business areas.
