Elbit Systems is Israel's largest publicly traded defense company, listed on both the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. It produces land, air, naval, and C4ISR systems, and is a leading exporter of drones, electro-optics, and artillery. Unlike IAI and Rafael, it is privately owned rather than state-held.
Why it matters. As the private-sector pillar of Israel's defense industrial base, Elbit is the cleanest market proxy for global demand for Israeli defense technology — and the most direct way public investors gain exposure to it.
