TASE Celebrates Record Growth in Second Quarter of 2025

Financial Highlights of Q2 2025
During Q2 2025, TASE achieved total revenues of NIS 136.1 million—a notable rise from NIS 105.1 million in the same quarter last year. The profit for this quarter amounted to NIS 43.6 million, significantly higher than the NIS 24.3 million recorded previously. Additionally, TASE's adjusted EBITDA reached NIS 71.6 million, marking a 56% increase.

The strong performance reflects increased participation from retail and foreign investors.
