What happened
Max Stock increased its Q2 2026 revenue by 13% to 379 million shekels and net profit by 30% to 36 million shekels despite losses from shekel currency hedging. Growth was supported by more customers, new stores, and a new logistics center. The shekel’s strength improved gross margins but led to hedging losses that partially offset net profit gains.
