Hebrew · 2 newsrooms covering

Miya Dynamics has terminated its partnership with Elta Systems, a deal intended to integrate Elta's electronics expertise into Miya's security robots. This follows the recent end of a distribution agreement with the Meir Group. The company cited increased marketing flexibility as a benefit, but faces significant financial headwinds, including a sharp drop in sales and widening losses. Miya Dynamics' stock has plummeted 64% this year, and its bonds reflect market concerns about its ability to repay debt.

  • Miya Dynamics ended its partnership with Elta Systems, impacting its security robot development and marketing plans.
  • The termination follows the recent conclusion of a distribution agreement with the Meir Group.
  • The company reported a sharp decline in sales in the first half of 2026, with domestic sales falling significantly.
  • Miya Dynamics' net loss widened considerably in the first half of 2026.
  • The company's stock has dropped 64% this year, and its bonds show market distrust.
  • Miya Dynamics aims for greater marketing flexibility following these partnership endings.

Miya Dynamics announced on Sunday the complete termination of its partnership with Elta Systems, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries specializing in military electronics. The collaboration, initiated in April of the previous year, was intended to integrate Elta's expertise in remote control and equipment for Miya Dynamics' four-wheeled electric micro-mobility robots designed for security missions. Elta was slated to become a partner in Miya Robotics, a subsidiary of Miya Dynamics, and had committed to marketing at least 1,000 robots over three years. Elta also received options to purchase 50% of Miya Robotics' shares, with an initial investment of $1 million, $300,000 of which was for prototype development.

This termination follows a similar ending of Miya Dynamics' distribution agreement with the Meir Group, a major automotive importer, just three weeks prior. Meir had served as Miya Dynamics' exclusive distributor in Israel since 2022, generating 6.1 million shekels in revenue in 2025. The company stated that ending these partnerships will provide greater marketing flexibility, though this comes at a time of significant financial challenges.

Miya Dynamics' sales have seen a sharp decline, particularly in the U.S. market and domestically. In the first half of 2026, domestic sales plummeted to 358,000 shekels from 2.7 million shekels in the same period the previous year, resulting in a loss of approximately 40,000 shekels from local marketing operations. Overall, the company's net loss widened from 4.7 million to 10.3 million shekels in the first half of 2026. These figures fall far short of earlier revenue projections of 30 million shekels for 2025 and 75 million shekels for 2026.

Since becoming a public company in June 2022, Miya Dynamics has accumulated losses of approximately 40 million shekels, excluding listing expenses. The company's stock has fallen 64% since the beginning of the year, trading at 84 million shekels, a significant drop from its peak valuation of 268 million shekels in January. Its 40 million shekel bond, issued in July of the previous year and due in December 2029, is trading at a 40% yield to maturity, indicating market skepticism about its repayment ability.
