Discount ( (IL:DSCT) ) has provided an update.

Israel Discount Bank Ltd. (IDB) faces challenges due to geopolitical tensions impacting Israel’s economic outlook, which could affect its creditworthiness and asset quality. Despite these challenges, IDB’s diversified business model supports its earnings resilience. The bank anticipates a moderation in earnings post-2023 but expects its capitalization to stabilize over the next two years. The bank’s exposure to the real estate and construction sectors presents ongoing risks, although its diversified revenue base and strong customer deposit base provide some stability. The outlook remains negative due to potential escalations in the regional conflict, with possible ratings downgrades if economic risks increase.
