What the Elbit Systems Data Snapshot Shows

Elbit Systems Ltd., the Israeli defense electronics group, appeared in a MarketScreener data snapshot on 13 August 2026 with a last reported Tel Aviv price of 235,500 Israeli agorot and a market capitalisation of about $36.6 billion. The same feed showed a US-listed closing price of $781.59, up 0.49% on the day, while the Tel Aviv-listed line was reported 1.04% higher.

That values the company at roughly 50.4 times expected 2026 earnings and 43.5 times expected 2027 earnings, according to the page. Enterprise value is put at $35.7 billion, implying EV-to-sales multiples of 3.95x for 2026 and 3.42x for 2027. The indicated dividend yield is modest, at 0.51% for 2026 and 0.58% for 2027.

Elbit develops and supplies systems for air, land and naval forces, as well as for homeland security and commercial aviation. Its catalogue includes unmanned aerial vehicles, helmet-mounted systems, C4I, electronic warfare and electro-optical systems. The stock has gained 27.57% since the start of 2026, though it has fallen 9.19% over the past week.

The data also showed net cash of about $911 million and forecast revenue of $9.04 billion for 2026, rising to $10.27 billion in 2027.

Reading Elbit Systems' Valuation and Analyst Targets

Elbit's 50x Forward Multiple Is Backed by Expected Earnings Growth

The valuation looks demanding, but the figures imply a clear growth path: net income is forecast to rise from $720 million in 2026 to $843 million in 2027, roughly 17%. That explains some of the gap between the 50.4x and 43.5x multiples. Still, investors are paying a premium for defense technology exposure, not a value price.

Analyst Consensus Points to 46% Upside

The data page lists an average analyst price target of $1,144.81 against a last close of $781.59, a spread of 46.47%. That suggests brokers, on average, expect the stock to recover well above the current level. It is a consensus view, not a forecast; individual estimates can differ widely.

Net Cash and a Small Dividend

With net cash of $911 million and a dividend yield below 0.6%, Elbit does not look like an income stock. The low payout indicates management is prioritising retained capital for product development, capacity expansion or other uses, though the data page does not state the company's actual capital allocation plans.

The Recent Pullback Looks Short-Term Against a Long Uptrend

Despite the one-week drop of 9.19%, the longer performance numbers remain strong: +12.42% over six months and +200.27% over three years. That pattern is consistent with a highly rated but volatile defense stock, not a deterioration in the business.
