  • Keystone distributed another NIS 25 million dividend, its fourth of the year.
  • Total dividends paid by Keystone since its IPO now exceed NIS 336 million.
  • Distributions in 2026 are expected to grow 19% to approximately NIS 96 million.
  • Keystone acquired a controlling stake in the bus company Egged.
  • The company plans to list Egged within the next year at a valuation over NIS 8 billion.

The infrastructure investment fund Keystone is continuing its policy of distributing cash to its shareholders. The company's board of directors approved another dividend payment of NIS 25 million on Thursday, the fourth this year. With this latest distribution, Keystone will have paid out approximately NIS 336 million to shareholders since its IPO.

Of the total, about NIS 177 million has been distributed since the beginning of 2025, highlighting the increasing importance of cash distributions in the company's strategy in recent years. Distributions in 2026 are projected to reach approximately NIS 96 million, an increase of about 19% from the NIS 81 million distributed throughout 2025. This trend may particularly attract investors seeking stocks that provide regular income alongside potential capital gains.

Dividend payments are a significant tool for shareholders in public companies, offering a steady cash flow that can reduce the need to sell holdings. This, in turn, can help stabilize a stock's volatility by mitigating the impact of individual shareholder cash needs. Keystone, which went public in 2021, also recently acquired a controlling stake in the bus company Egged. Keystone plans to list Egged on the stock exchange within the next year, aiming for a valuation exceeding NIS 8 billion, compared to its acquisition price of just under NIS 5 billion.
