<div id="readability-page-1"><div><h2>Why Azrieli Group is back on investors’ radar</h2> <p>Cohen &amp; Steers is set to add Azrieli Group (TASE:AZRG) to its Global Realty Majors and International Realty Majors Portfolio Indexes, a move that can influence passive flows and global visibility.</p> <p>See our latest analysis for Azrieli Group.</p> <p>Azrieli Group’s recent index inclusion news arrives during a strong run. The share price is at ₪512.9 after a 1-month share price return of 9.6% and a year-to-date share price return of 39.9%, supported by a very large 1-year total shareholder return of about 94%, which points to firm positive momentum rather than a short-lived bounce.</p> <p>If this kind of real estate driven interest has you thinking about where else capital is moving, it could be worth scanning 102 top founder-led companies</p> <p>With Azrieli Group already delivering strong recent returns and trading above the latest analyst price target of ₪451.5, the key question now is whether markets have run ahead of fundamentals or if there is still a mispriced growth story here.</p> <h2>Price-to-Earnings of 32.9x: Is it justified?</h2> <p>Azrieli Group trades on a P/E of 32.9x compared with 15.7x for the IL Real Estate industry and a 16.4x peer average, so the market is assigning a clear premium at the current ₪512.9 share price.</p> <p>The P/E ratio compares the share price with earnings per share and is often used for companies that already generate consistent profits, such as real estate groups with income producing assets.</p> <p>For Azrieli Group, a 32.9x P/E suggests investors are willing to pay roughly double the sector and peer averages, even though revenue is forecast to grow 3.1% per year, slower than both the IL market and the 20% threshold often associated with high growth stories. At the same time, earnings are forecast to grow 22.1% per year and are expected to outpace the IL market, which can help explain why some investors accept a higher earnings multiple despite a low current and forecast Return on Equity.</p> <p>That premium is also set against other quality flags and pressure points, such as interest payments that are not well covered by earnings, a reported DCF value of ₪172.4 that sits well below the current price, and a value score of 0. All of these points underline how far sentiment has already moved compared with more traditional valuation checks.</p> <p>See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.</p> <p><strong>Result: Price-to-Earnings of 32.9x (OVERVALUED)</strong></p> <p>However, that premium sits alongside a value score of 0 and interest costs that are not well covered, which could quickly challenge sentiment if financial conditions tighten.</p> <p>Find out about the key risks to this Azrieli Group narrative.</p> <h2>Another view on valuation</h2> <p>Azrieli Group already looks expensive on its 32.9x P/E, but the SWS DCF model presents an even starker picture, with an estimated future cash flow value of ₪172.4 per share compared with the current ₪512.9. This suggests a meaningful gap between price and value and raises the question of how comfortable investors are with the potential downside risk.</p> <p>Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.</p> <figure><img height="476" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/a2d3336c-fcc9-4bbd-a3a4-4cb42b6230c0/chart/dcf/query-ZGF0ZT0yMDI2LTA1LTEx?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="746" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/a2d3336c-fcc9-4bbd-a3a4-4cb42b6230c0/chart/dcf/query-ZGF0ZT0yMDI2LTA1LTEx"/><figcaption>AZRG Discounted Cash Flow as at May 2026</figcaption></figure><p>Simply Wall St performs a discounted cash flow (DCF) on every stock in the world every day (check out Azrieli Group for example).
