Rising Demand for Elbit Systems Amid Middle Eastern Conflicts

Elbit Systems, Israel's foremost defense company, is witnessing a surge in demand amidst the ongoing U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. This follows strong financial gains from the Gaza war between 2023 and 2025.

CEO Bezhalel Machlis emphasized the company's efforts to ensure a steady supply of ammunition and military systems for Israel and foreign clients, including Gulf countries. The company's global appeal is evident as many nations seek Elbit's battle-tested systems. The firm's order backlog increased to $28.1 billion by the end of 2025, with a substantial 72% from international orders. This backlog is poised to fuel growth in 2026.

Additionally, Elbit's financial performance showed notable improvements, with earnings up and a significant rise in shares. It has received an order for an advanced airborne laser system, marking its continued innovation in defense technology. The company continues to attract international interest, driving both its growth strategy and stock market performance.
