Margins Ease Back From Prior Year

• Trailing 12 month net profit was ₪1,089 million on ₪6.9b of revenue, giving a 15.8% margin compared with 16.9% a year earlier, while trailing EPS moved from 32.24 ILS in Q4 2024 to 30.72 ILS in Q4 2025.
• What stands out for a bearish lens is that this margin softness sits alongside a negative earnings change over the latest year, even though five year earnings growth averaged 17.8% per year. This means:
  • Bears will point to the combination of a 1.1 percentage point margin slip and lower trailing EPS as signs that recent profitability is weaker than the longer run trend.
  • At the same time, the longer term growth record challenges a simple bearish story, because it shows that the current year is coming after several years of much stronger earnings expansion.

Stay curious about whether this margin step down is a blip or the start of a new pattern, and see how cautious analysts frame the risks in the 🐻 F.I.B.I. Holdings Bear Case.

Quarterly Net Income Steps Down Through FY 2025

• Within FY 2025, net income excluding extra items moved from ₪307 million in Q2 to ₪281 million in Q3 and then ₪246 million in Q4, while quarterly revenue went from ₪1,857 million to ₪1,812 million and then ₪1,556 million over the same stretch.
• Supporters with a more bullish tilt tend to lean on the longer term growth record, and this run rate context creates an interesting tension with that view:
  • The 17.8% five year earnings growth rate aligns with the idea of a bank that has grown earnings meaningfully over time, which bullish investors highlight as a core part of the story.
  • The step down in quarterly net income and revenue through 2025, and the negative earnings change over the latest year, give you a concrete set of figures to check that bullish narrative against rather than accepting it at face value.

DCF Discount Versus Slightly Rich P/E

• The shares trade at ₪329.30 compared with a DCF fair value of ₪371.16, an 11.3% discount to that figure. The P/E of 10.7x sits just above peer and industry averages of 10.2x and 10.1x.
• For a bullish angle, this mix of metrics gives a clear framework to weigh potential reward against the flagged risks:
  • Supporters may focus on the 11.3% gap to DCF fair value and the five year 17.8% annual earnings growth as evidence that the market price is not fully reflecting the longer run track record.
  • Critics, however, can point to the slightly higher P/E than peers, the 15.8% margin versus 16.9% a year earlier, and the unstable dividend history as concrete reasons not to treat the DCF discount as a simple bargain signal.
