TASE Stock Analysis

Instructions

Step 1: Identify the Analysis Type

Ask the user what kind of analysis they need:

Type	Hebrew	Description	Key Data
Index tracking	מעקב מדד	TA-35 or TA-125 index performance	Index composition, weight, performance
Single stock	ניתוח מניה	Individual TASE-listed stock analysis	Price, volume, fundamentals
Dual-listed	חברה דואלית	Companies listed on TASE + NASDAQ/NYSE	Arbitrage, currency effect, tax implications
Maya filing	דיווח מאי"ה	TASE disclosure filings lookup	Material events, financial reports, insider trades
Capital gains	רווחי הון	Tax calculation on securities gains	25% tax rate, exemptions, offsetting losses

Step 2: Gather Market Data

Depending on the analysis type, collect:

• Index data: Use scripts/fetch_tase_data.py to retrieve TA-35 or TA-125 composition and weights
• Stock data: Ticker symbol (TASE uses Hebrew names or numeric codes), current price, volume
• Dual-listed data: Both TASE ticker and US ticker (e.g., NICE on TASE and NICE on NASDAQ)
• Maya filings: Company name or securities number, date range for filings

Step 3: Apply Israeli Context

For any stock analysis, layer in Israeli-specific factors:

• Bank of Israel interest rate: Current BOI rate affects valuations and sector rotation
• Shekel/Dollar exchange rate: Critical for dual-listed arbitrage and foreign exposure
• Sector composition: Israeli market heavy in banking (Hapoalim, Leumi, Discount), pharma (Teva), tech
• Market hours: TASE trades Monday-Friday. Monday-Thursday 09:59-17:14, Friday shortened session 09:59-13:50. No trading on Saturday (Shabbat) or Jewish holidays

Step 4: Calculate Capital Gains Tax (Mas Revach Hon)

When the user has sold or plans to sell securities:

Scenario	Tax Rate	Notes
Individual, non-substantial shareholder	25%	Standard rate on net gain
Substantial shareholder (over 10%)	30%	Flat rate on entire gain (Section 91(b)(2))
Shares eligible for inflationary adjustment (varies by acquisition date and asset type)	Exempt	Only real gain is taxed, consult current regulations
Offsetting losses (kizuz hefsedim)	Allowed	Losses offset gains in same tax year
Foreign resident	Treaty-dependent	Check double taxation treaty

Calculation:

net_gain = sale_price - purchase_price - transaction_costs
tax = net_gain * 0.25  # or 0.30 for substantial shareholder (10%+)

Step 5: Evaluate Dual-Listed Opportunities

For dual-listed companies (e.g., Check Point, CyberArk, NICE, Sapiens):

1. Compare TASE price (in NIS) vs. US price (in USD) using current exchange rate
2. Account for ADR ratio (some dual-listed have different share ratios)
3. Factor in different trading hours (TASE and US markets now overlap on Monday-Friday, but Friday TASE closes early at 13:50)
4. Note tax treaty implications -- Israeli residents pay Israeli capital gains tax regardless of which exchange

Step 6: Review Maya Filings

Check relevant disclosures on the Maya system (TASE disclosure platform):

• Immediate reports: Material events that affect stock price
• Periodic reports: Quarterly and annual financial statements
• Related party transactions: Insider trades and holdings changes
• Shelf offerings: Potential dilution events

Summarize key findings and flag any material items.

MCP Integration: Live TASE Data

For live market data, use the TASE MCP Server (skills-il/tase-mcp).

Prerequisites:

• TASE Data Hub API key (register at https://openapi.tase.co.il/tase/prod/, some products are paid)
• MCP server installed: npx github:skills-il/tase-mcp

Setup: Set the environment variable TASE_API_KEY with your API key.

Available MCP Tools:

Tool	What it does
tase_list_securities	List all traded securities
tase_get_security	Get security details by ID
tase_get_security_eod	End-of-day price data
tase_list_indices	List all TASE indices
tase_get_index_eod	End-of-day data for an index
tase_get_index_components	Index composition with weights
tase_get_maya_announcements	Maya company filings
tase_get_management_positions	Board and management holdings

Note: The TASE API requires a paid subscription for some products. Without MCP, this skill provides analysis guidance using general market knowledge. With MCP, the agent fetches live market data directly from the official TASE Data Hub.

Examples

Example 1: TA-35 Index Overview

User says: "Show me the current TA-35 composition and top performers" Actions:

1. Run python scripts/fetch_tase_data.py --index TA35
2. Display top holdings by weight (Bank Hapoalim, Bank Leumi, ICL, Teva, etc.)
3. Show recent performance vs. BOI interest rate context
4. Note upcoming ex-dividend dates for major components Result: Summary table of TA-35 with weights, performance, and key metrics

Example 2: Dual-Listed Arbitrage Check

User says: "Compare Check Point stock price on TASE vs NASDAQ" Actions:

1. Fetch Check Point TASE price (in NIS) and NASDAQ price (in USD)
2. Convert using current BOI representative rate (sha'ar yatzig)
3. Calculate premium/discount between exchanges
4. Note that arbitrage is limited by settlement timing and currency conversion costs Result: Price comparison with exchange rate analysis and practical arbitrage assessment

Example 3: Capital Gains Tax on Stock Sale

User says: "I sold Teva shares for 120,000 NIS, bought them for 80,000 NIS. What's my tax?" Actions:

1. Identify: Net gain = 120,000 - 80,000 = 40,000 NIS
2. Check: Standard rate (25%) assuming non-substantial shareholder
3. Calculate: Tax = 40,000 * 0.25 = 10,000 NIS
4. Note: Can offset against any capital losses (hefsedei hon) from same tax year Result: Capital gains tax of 10,000 NIS, with guidance on loss offsetting and filing

Example 4: Maya Filing Lookup

User says: "Check recent Maya filings for Bank Hapoalim" Actions:

1. Look up Bank Hapoalim on Maya (securities number 662577)
2. Filter recent immediate reports and periodic filings
3. Summarize material events (dividends, board decisions, regulatory actions)
4. Flag any insider trading reports Result: Summary of recent disclosures with material items highlighted

Gotchas

• Since January 2026, TASE trades Monday through Friday (previously Sunday-Thursday). Friday sessions are shortened (09:59-13:50). Agents trained on pre-2026 data may still assume Sunday-Thursday trading and schedule queries on Sundays, which are now non-trading days.
• TASE ticker symbols follow a different format than US exchanges. Israeli stocks use numeric codes (e.g., 604611 for Teva) alongside short Hebrew names. Agents may try to use US-style letter tickers.
• Israeli stock prices on TASE are quoted in agorot (1/100 of a shekel), not in shekels. Agents may display raw prices without dividing by 100, showing prices 100x too high.
• Dual-listed Israeli companies (e.g., Teva, Check Point) trade on both TASE and NASDAQ with different prices due to exchange rate fluctuations. Agents may not reconcile the price difference.

Troubleshooting

Error: "TASE ticker not found"

Cause: TASE uses numeric securities numbers and Hebrew names, not US-style tickers Solution: Search by company Hebrew name or securities number (mispar niyar erech). Use Maya search for lookup.

Error: "Exchange rate mismatch for dual-listed"

Cause: Using stale or non-representative exchange rate for comparison Solution: Use Bank of Israel representative rate (sha'ar yatzig) published daily at 15:30. For intraday, note rates are indicative only.

Error: "Capital gains calculation unclear"

Cause: Complex scenarios like partial sales, inflationary adjustments, or inherited shares Solution: For shares eligible for inflationary adjustment (varies by acquisition date and asset type), consult current tax regulations for specific dates. For inherited shares, acquisition cost is market value at inheritance date. Consult a tax advisor (yo'etz mas) for complex cases.
