Delek Group

Delek Group, controlled by Yitzhak Tshuva, joins the AI race: the company Mehadrin has submitted requests to build giant data centers in Netanya and Ashkelon with investments of billions of dollars, amid the exceptional load on the power grid.

The oil and gas production company, controlled by Delek Group, is set to enter the FTSE 100 index in September. The inclusion is expected to generate demand for shares worth hundreds of millions of shekels.

Insider movements are always interesting. It is customary to say that when insiders sell, there can be a variety of reasons for this, and it does not necessarily indicate that they think the stock is unattractive. Conversely, when insiders increase their holdings in their company, it can certainly be a sign that the stock is interesting.

The company concludes a positive quarter with double-digit growth in revenue and net profit, supported primarily by increased sales of natural gas and condensate. CEO Idan Wallace stated: "We continue to strengthen and enhance the group's core assets."

Delek Group, controlled by Yitzhak Tshuva, concluded the second quarter with revenues of 4.4 billion shekels and a 78% jump in net profit. The board approved a dividend of 250 million shekels, and the stock's dividend yield over the past year, about 14.5%, is among the highest in the TA-35 index. What is driving the results?

Significant expansion in energy operations in Canada: InPlay, partially held by Delek Group managed by Idan Walles, acquired a Canadian oil and gas company for tens of millions of dollars. This is another strategic move supporting continued value creation and the expansion of energy activity in North America. Since Delek's investment in InPlay, the stock has jumped by about 50%.

This month, Delek Group distributed to its shareholders, as a dividend in kind, the shares of its subsidiary (100%) Delek Yezum. The only asset of Delek Yezum is the right to receive overriding royalties from the revenues of NewMed Energy from the Leviathan reservoir.
