What Lapidoth Capital does

Lapidoth Capital (TASE: LAPD) is a publicly traded Israeli holding company founded in 1959, headquartered in Or Yehuda and listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's TA-125 index. The group operates three core subsidiaries across distinct sectors of the Israeli economy: Dania SIV (publicly listed since 2021), one of Israel's largest construction and infrastructure contractors covering residential, public building, road, railway, tunnel, and airport projects; Africa Israel Homes (publicly listed since 2006), a residential real estate developer active in conventional housing, rental housing, urban renewal (more than 40 projects nationwide), luxury residences, and protected housing under the Sabayon brand; and Sunny Communications, the official Samsung mobile device importer in Israel since 1998, distributing to approximately 550 retail chain points and 600 private stores plus a B2B channel, and operating the country's only Samsung-certified SERVICE MAKER laboratory. The group also retains an in-house drilling services operation with 60+ years of experience and over 450 completed wells, including the Heletz oil field discovery that produced more than 17 million barrels of oil.

The group's revenue model is a mix of construction and infrastructure project contracts (one-time, project-based), residential real estate sales and rentals (one-time development plus recurring rental income), and Samsung product distribution economics (transaction-fee style wholesale-to-retail margins). Customer segments are diversified by construction tender wins, individual and institutional real estate buyers, and a broad retail and B2B channel for mobile devices. The group is controlled by Chairman and owner Yaakov Luxenburg, with CEO Amir Tirosh leading the management team.
