Explore Community Narratives TASE:RANI Earnings & Revenue History as at Mar 2026 ## Margins Squeezed, One-Off Gain Clouds Picture - The trailing net profit margin sits at 15.4% compared with 47.3% a year earlier, and the trailing 12 month earnings include a ₪37.6m one off gain that lifts reported profitability relative to underlying operations. - Critics highlight that a five year earnings decline of about 2.1% per year alongside weaker interest coverage means this one off gain can make earnings look stronger than the core business, as shown by margins sitting at 15.4% despite the extra ₪37.6m and by the shift from a Q1 2025 loss of ₪11.7m to Q2 2025 net income of ₪28.9m. - This supports a bearish view that headline EPS, including the gain, may not reflect the earnings power implied by recent quarters such as Q3 2025 net income of ₪9.1m on revenue of ₪43.8m. - At the same time, the margin drop from 47.3% to 15.4% gives bears a concrete data point that profitability has moved to a lower level even after the non recurring boost. ## Interest Coverage Weakens Earnings Story - Analysis flags that current earnings do not sufficiently cover interest expense, which sits alongside the multi year 2.1% annual earnings decline and a trailing net profit margin of 15.4% as key pressure points for the income statement. - Bears argue that weak interest coverage makes the business more sensitive to any setback in profitability, and the recent pattern of results, including a Q1 2025 loss of ₪11.7m followed by Q2 2025 net income of ₪28.9m and Q3 2025 net income of ₪9.1m, highlights how volatile earnings have been relative to the fixed interest burden. - This sequence gives the bearish case concrete support because periods of loss and lower quarterly profit can reduce the buffer available to service interest costs when margins are already at 15.4%. - The five year earnings decline of about 2.1% per year adds to that concern by suggesting that the challenge in covering interest is not limited to a single quarter. Investors who are worried about how these pressures play out over time often look closely at independent breakdowns of risk signals before committing fresh capital, and that is where a focused risk summary on this name can be helpful: 4 important warning signs. ## P/E Sits Between Peers And Sector - Rani Zim trades on a P/E of 20.6x versus a peer average of 21.9x and an IL Real Estate industry average of 14.2x, while the DCF fair value is ₪0.39 compared with the current share price of ₪4.36. - What stands out for more cautious investors is that the premium to the broader real estate industry on a 20.6x P/E comes alongside a five year earnings decline of 2.1% per year and a DCF fair value of ₪0.39 that is below the ₪4.36 share price, which they argue leaves less room for error in future results. - This combination supports a bearish reading that the market is pricing the company closer to its peer group than to the wider sector even though interest coverage is described as weak. - At the same time, the modest discount to the 21.9x peer average is one of the few points skeptics have to weigh against the margin compression from 47.3% to 15.4% when thinking about valuation constraints. ## Next Steps Don't just look at this quarter; the real story is in the long-term trend.
