Shapir Engineering And Industry (ISIN IL0011338758) reported ILS 1.68 billion in second-quarter 2026 revenue, up from ILS 1.56 billion in the first quarter. The company also holds a 10.00 percent stake in the Ashdod Oil Refinery as Israel's Energy Ministry supports giving Shapir control of the facility, according to WireIsrael on October 4, 2026.

Refinery control becomes the catalyst

The ministry's position paper argued that a strategic investor is needed to keep the refinery operating efficiently and finance its development. It asked the Government Companies Authority to reconsider the Concentration Committee's earlier recommendation, while the Ministry of Finance also leaned toward approval, WireIsrael reported.

The proposal is not yet a completed acquisition. The committee had voted two to one against granting control, citing the risk that the deal would increase the economic concentration of the Shapir Group. That creates a clear counterweight to the strategic-energy argument.

Quarterly figures strengthen the case

Investing.com reported that Shapir's second-quarter 2026 net income was ILS 108.00 million, compared with ILS 56.00 million in the first quarter. Diluted earnings per share were ILS 0.30 in the second quarter, versus ILS 0.16 in the first quarter.

The revenue comparison points in the same direction: ILS 1.68 billion in the second quarter followed ILS 1.56 billion in the first quarter. The figures give the refinery debate a stronger financial backdrop, although the control decision remains a regulatory matter rather than an earnings announcement.

What does the 10.00 percent stake add?

The stake gives Shapir direct exposure to the outcome of the control process, but it also links the company to the refinery's capital needs and regulatory constraints. The ministry's argument centers on energy security and continuity of fuel supply, while the committee's objection centers on market concentration.

Three dates frame the story

On July 30, 2026, the Concentration Committee's majority opposed granting Shapir control while the company held a 10.00 percent refinery stake. On August 24, 2026, the latest earnings release reported ILS 1.68 billion in quarterly revenue. On October 4, 2026, the Energy Ministry backed renewed consideration of Shapir's control request, according to WireIsrael.
