Financial journalist opinion

EIS: Israeli Stocks - Between Attractive Valuations And Geopolitical Tensions

The iShares MSCI Israel ETF has seen the share of financial stocks increase year-to-date, with the information technology sector exposure slipping to second place. This makes EIS's future returns increasingly cyclical and more dependent on GDP growth accelerating in 2026, as projected by the Bank of Israel. Earnings growth should benefit from high population growth and Israel's high ranking on competitiveness and innovation.

Best And Worst Country ETFs Since Trump 2.0

It has been 225 days since President Trump's Inauguration on January 20th, and the S&P 500 entered today up 8% since the last close before the Inauguration. Speaking of the G7, the US has been the worst market among these seven developed nations since Inauguration Day in January. Along with being the second-best performing country ETF since Inauguration Day, Vietnamhas easily been the best performer since April 8th with a gain of 77.5%.

EIS: Positive Demographics, Strong Services Exports Make This An Interesting Opportunity

Global population decline may arrive sooner than expected, creating headwinds for most economies, but Israel stands out with strong population growth and positive immigration. Israel's robust domestic demand, rising GDP per capita, and export-oriented companies—especially in tech and financials—make EIS an attractive geographic diversification play. EIS offers favorable valuation metrics and sector diversification, but ongoing geopolitical risks warrant only moderate, risk-capital exposure.

Key ETF Asset Class Performance

The market ended the month of July on a down note, but the S&P 500 still ended the month with a gain of 2.3%. While domestic equities posted small gains in July, there was quite a bit of disparity among international markets.

EIS: An Attractive Fund, But Too Risky At New Highs As War Breaks Out

EIS has delivered strong returns, supported by robust economic growth, low valuations, and a favorable currency environment. Despite the Iran conflict, Israeli markets have shown resilience, with limited long-term impact from geopolitical events historically. I rate EIS a 'hold' at current highs, preferring to buy on a 10% pullback near $80 for better risk-reward.

These countries' stock markets are racing to new highs, outpacing US equity growth

Global markets have been outpacing US stocks (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) and growing at massive rates year-to-date in 2025. Yahoo Finance markets and data editor Jared Blikre — who also hosts the Stocks In Translation podcast — tracks a handful of foreign market ETFs for various countries, including Greece, Japan, Italy, Poland, and Israel.

EIS: Israel Caught Up In The Tech Selloff, Where To Be A Buyer

I have a hold rating on the iShares MSCI Israel ETF due to attractive valuation but cautionary technical indicators. EIS has corrected 11% from its all-time high, with significant exposure to underperforming Information Technology and Financial sectors. The ETF is cheap with a P/E ratio near 12x and a PEG ratio of 1.34x, but high volatility and low liquidity are concerns.

EIS: Israeli Stocks Set To Benefit From Robust GDP Growth In 2025

The iShares MSCI Israel ETF invests in Israeli stocks primarily in the information technology and financials sectors. Despite soaring over the past year, EIS's valuation remains attractive, with Israel's GDP growth likely to top US growth in 2025 and in the years ahead. EIS is tilted towards cyclical/growth sectors, boosting earnings during economic expansions.
