El Al FY2025 net profit down ~25% to $403–410M after weak Q4; shekel strength and regional conflict weigh

El Al's 2025 net profit fell about 25–26% to roughly $403–410 million following a weak fourth quarter. Management cited returning foreign carriers that eroded market share, a stronger shekel that cut ~$77 million of profit, and the six‑month‑old regional conflict as key headwinds.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • El Al's FY2025 profit decline and weak Q4 reflect immediate commercial pressures from returning foreign competitors and shifting capacity — see recent company route network and capacity context (source:6dfde1b8-4a23-4114-9491-7798e80f9f8c).
  • Currency moved the needle: management says a stronger shekel reduced profit by about $77 million, a material one‑time hit to margins and cash flow.
  • The six‑month‑old regional conflict depressed demand and complicates planned network growth, including announced long‑haul launches to Hanoi, Seoul and Manila (source:4fc2d1e5-766a-452b-bc50-96916d71d772).
