Summary of Israeli Diversified Banks Report
This report from Citi Research analyzes key valuation, financial, and performance metrics for Israeli diversified banks, dated 16 Jun 2025. The market prices the banks fairly based on stable metrics despite geopolitical considerations.

• Valuation and Financial Summary: Average implied cost of equity remains around 11.5%. Banks trade at approximately 1.3x P/BV and projected 8x P/E for 2026E based on consensus. Expected return on equity (RoE) is 14-16% for 2025-2027, with NII growth of around 7% YoY on average. Cost of risk impacts EPS significantly; a 10bps increase reduces EPS by approximately 4%-6%.

• Asset Quality: Loan loss ratios (NPL) average 0.7% (below 0.5% for Leumi and Hapoalim, above for Tefahot). Cost of risk in Q1 2025 was 14bps, projected at 35bps for 2025E, affecting profitability via reduced net profits.

• Capital and Liquidity: CET1 ratio averages 11.2% with buffers above requirements, indicating strong capital positions. Liquidity metrics include loan-to-deposit ratios above 70%, LCR ~130%, and robust capital buffers.

• Q1 2025 Performance: Banks delivered solid results with average underlying RoE around 15%. Net interest income grew 7% YoY (excluding CPI), supported by loan volume increases and efficiency improvements, with costs under control.

The analysis suggests close monitoring of ongoing geopolitical developments for future impacts on banking metrics.
