Israeli Companies On Wall Street Reach Historic $300 Billion Market Cap Landmark

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Another incredible milestone for Israel’s dynamic economy. Israel has the third most companies listed on the Nasdaq. Only the United States and China have greater representation on the Nasdaq than Israel. In fact, Israel has more companies listed on the Nasdaq than all of Europe and most of Asia. #BDSFail!

Israeli companies on Wall Street reach historic $300 billion market cap landmark

WalkMe became the 85th Israeli company to currently be traded on Nasdaq and NYSE. The market cap of blue-and-white companies on Wall Street has surged by $100 billion since the start of the year

By C-Tech, June 17, 2021

Software company WalkMe’s IPO on Nasdaq on Wednesday brought the aggregate value of Israeli companies traded on Wall Street to $300 billion. According to data gathered by Oppenheimer Investments Bank, there has been a $100 billion surge since the beginning of the year, $75 billion in new companies that have either gone public or merged with SPAC companies, and a $25 billion increase in the value of existing companies.

The “Israeli” portfolio in New York, which includes 85 companies, recorded an increase of more than 12% since the beginning of the year – more than Nasdaq, which recorded a return of 9% since January. This leap in the value of Israeli companies traded in the U.S. means they have surpassed the total value of the 507 companies traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (52 of which are traded in both), which stood at NIS 962 billion (about $297 billion) on Wednesday.

“What is happening with the large IPOs of Israeli companies on Wall Street is exactly what the Israeli economy needs. It creates long-term growth, as the companies expand,” said Avivit Mannet-Kalil, co-CEO of Oppenheimer, in a conversation with Calcalist. “It is also not similar to what happened in 2000, because these are mostly companies that work in the established and healthy SaaS model, which provides the ability to assess and anticipate ahead. The only exception is the electric and autonomous vehicle segment, which is more futuristic and similar to drug development because after years of development, technology can catch on and make the company huge, but it can also fail.”

How long can this party last?

“There is a lot of money in the market, and interest rates are low. It is a wave that can last two or three years because there is new money coming into the system and there is demand for these companies, but there are cycles – and at some point, it will calm down.”

For now, the market seems to be staying hot, so Israeli companies that come to Wall Street enjoy a strong back wind. Monday.com, Israel’s largest IPO to date, went public last week at a value of $6.8 billion, but is already trading at around $9 billion. WalkMe joined the club on Wednesday, raising $286 million at a value of $2.5 billion.

WalkMe concluded its IPO, which was led by investment banks Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, at a share price of $31, right in the middle of the underwriters’ range. The share is being traded under the symbol WKME.

WalkMe was founded in 2011 by Rafael Sweary (49), who serves as the company’s president, and Dan Adika (35), who serves as CEO. The company has developed a platform for adopting digital technologies without the need to write additional code. The concept behind WalkMe’s solution was to help organizations measure, promote and act in order to maximize the impact of digital transformation processes, thereby improving the efficiency of the software the organization uses. WalkMe’s products are used by both the companies’ employees and their clients. Today, the company has more than 2,000 customers, including 155 Fortune 500 companies.

Like recent Israeli companies who went public in New York, WalkMe also operates in a SaaS model and therefore grows rapidly, but also loses quite a bit. The company concluded 2020 with $148.3 million in revenue, a 41% spike compared to 2019. However, its operating loss amounted to $43.1 million, which led to a bottom-line loss of $45 million.

The company ended the first quarter of 2021 with an annual revenue rate (ARR) of $178 million. In the quarter itself, it reached revenue of $42.6 million, a 25% growth, and a loss of $13 million compared to $12 million in the same period in 2020.

      USA funded all the stolen tech that these Filth used to “start their own IT corps”. then turned around and sold it to our competitors like they did w/ spies like Jonathan Pollard stealing warehouses full of US classified info, then selling it on to Israel.
      Like the Rosenberg spies did stealing our tech and selling it to USSR.
