Businessman Gil Agmon Eyes Credit Card Firm Cal in Potential $1 Billion Deal

Businessman Gil Agmon is in early talks with Discount Bank to acquire a controlling stake in credit card company Cal for an estimated $800 million to $940 million. This move follows the collapse of a previous deal for Cal due to regulatory concerns. Agmon's traditional automotive business, Delek Motors, has faced declining market share and financial losses, prompting his diversification into new sectors. The potential acquisition of Cal offers Agmon an established credit infrastructure, but financing the significant investment will be a key hurdle.
