Following a volatile trading day, Israel's real estate stock index has stabilized with a slight decrease of approximately 0.2%. The instability in the sector is attributed to the recent elections and the subsequent uncertainty regarding government formation. Initial election polls suggested Gadi Eisenkot might become prime minister, but the results indicated the Likud party's strength, potentially leading to Benjamin Netanyahu forming the next government. This outcome prompted investors to sell off holdings, causing sharp declines across the market.
Despite the overall index's slight dip, individual stocks experienced significant fluctuations. Urban Brands led the day's losses, plummeting 9% and continuing a poor month after losing 21% of its value. Beit Ve'Gag also saw a substantial drop of 4.91%, and Oron Group lost 3.63%. Conversely, some companies in the sector saw gains. Canada Global rose 6.2%, Hagej Group increased by 6.1%, and Livental climbed 5.9%, extending its monthly positive momentum.
Other real estate firms also experienced positive trading, including Mishorim up 4.36%, Sade Real Estate up 4.11%, and Shemen Real Estate up 3.95%. The market is closely monitoring trading developments, with key questions remaining about whether yesterday's declines represent a buying opportunity or a sign of further trouble for the real estate sector, particularly in light of the ongoing government formation process.
Yesterday's significant losses were led by Africa Israel Residences, which fell 12.8%. Ashtrom recorded the largest monetary loss, with its stock dropping 10.35% and erasing approximately 698 million shekels from its market value. Israel Canada followed, with its stock falling 11.32% and losing about 573 million shekels. In total, the 12 worst-performing companies today lost around 3.7 billion shekels in value. Yesterday, the real estate index fell 6.3% and the construction index dropped 8.2%.
